The metric number (NM) is calculated as meters per gram of yarn for a single strand. Importers should obtain mill test certificates or yarn specification sheets from the manufacturer stating the NM count per single yarn before plying. Customs may request this documentation to verify the correct count bracket, and discrepancies between declared and tested counts can result in reclassification.
Trade-remedy exposure varies by product and origin and changes over time. Importers sourcing from Pakistan should consult the USITC and CBP databases for any active antidumping or countervailing duty orders applicable to cotton yarn, and work with a licensed customs broker to confirm the current duty treatment before committing to purchase orders.
