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
