Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the yarn measures less than 714.29 decitex but at least 232.56 decitex

If the yarn is multiple (folded) or cabled
Multiple or cabled yarns of combed fibres are classified separately, even at similar counts.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the yarn is not classified as sewing thread (which requires a final Z twist and packaging under 1,000 g)
• Provide the decitex or metric number on the commercial invoice to confirm it falls within the 714.29 decitex or more range
• If the yarn is dyed or bleached, confirm it still meets the single-yarn criteria for this item
