Import Tips
• For slub yarns, measure effective yarn number per US note nm definition using meters per kg calculation
• Request supplier affidavits on yarn color differentiation to preempt CBP challenges on denim status
• Monitor aggregate cotton import quotas if from restricted countries like India or China
