Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm cotton exceeds 50% for main classification; discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Provide mill certificates and yarn count details in documentation to avoid customs delays
• Ensure yarn is not packaged for retail (e.g
• no consumer spools) to prevent shifting to Chapter 55 retail headings
