Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Document mercerization process but confirm it doesn't qualify as 'sewing thread' alternative; use lab tests for yarn metrics
ā¢ Label balls with fiber content >85% cotton and retail pricing to prove 'put up for retail sale' status
ā¢ Monitor country-specific quotas for raw cotton components; declare as yarn to avoid 5201 raw cotton limits
