Import Tips
• Verify yarn number exceeds 200nm using official formulas from US Note (b) with lab testing if needed to confirm classification
• Include retail packaging details and end-use labeling on invoices; provide cotton origin certificates to navigate quota restrictions
• Avoid misclassification as sewing thread (5204) by documenting non-sewing retail craft use; watch for quantitative limits on cotton imports
