Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the yarn is not put up for retail sale—bulk packaging on cones or tubes over 125 g keeps it in this tariff item
• Have the cotton fibre length documented, as this may affect verification by CBSA
• If the yarn is mercerized, note that this process does not change classification
