Import Tips

• Document staple length of cotton if relevant to quotas under US Notes for raw cotton derivatives; avoid non-WTO country sourcing pitfalls

• Use boiling method to remove sizing for accurate weight and yarn count measurement during customs verification

• Declare exact weave (sateen confirmed by thread count) to prevent reclassification as twill or other under 5212.11
