Import Tips
• Use BYT/1,000 formula from US notes for yarn number verification if challenged on cotton purity
• Include commercial invoice specifying 'unbleached' and exact weight to prevent upcharge to dyed categories
• Monitor staple length quotas for input cotton per US notes to avoid derivative restrictions
