More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is carded wool, not combed or spun
Roving that has not been spun into yarn may be classified as carded wool fibre rather than yarn.
If the wool content is 85% or more by weight
A higher wool percentage would move the product to this item for combed wool yarn.
If the viscose rayon content predominates over wool
Under Section XI Note 2, if viscose outweighs wool, classification shifts to man-made fibre yarns.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the yarn is not put up for retail sale—industrial packaging on large cones or spools is required
• Provide a detailed fibre breakdown to CBSA, as viscose rayon content may affect classification under Section XI notes
• Confirm the yarn's twist and preparation, as roving-style products may be subject to different rules if they are not true yarns
