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
