Import Tips
• Verify cotton content via lab testing to confirm ≥10% by weight, as discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Document twist direction (final 'S' twist) and ply count in invoices to match HTS 5607.50.2500 specifications
• Avoid common pitfalls like mismeasuring diameter; use calipers for aggregation under 3.5 mm
