Import Tips
• Maintain chain-of-custody documents from farm to port to verify no intermediate processing
• Sample test for strength and fineness grades (L, D, A, B, C, DT, X) for accurate commercial valuation
• Avoid plastic packaging that traps moisture; use traditional strick bundling for breathability
