Import Tips & Compliance

• Ensure the yarn is not put up for retail sale (e.g

• on reels of 85 g or less for man-made filament, but here cotton is the principal material)

• Provide a certificate of analysis for fiber content and metric number

• Modal is a viscose-type fiber; confirm it is classified as a man-made fiber for Section XI rules
