Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the yarn is not put up for retail sale; industrial packaging (e.g
• large cones) is acceptable
• Have a clean yield certificate to prove the 92% wool content
• Check if the yarn is considered 'twine, cordage, ropes or cables' under Section XI Note 3, which would reclassify it to Chapter 56
