Fine Single-Ply Linen Yarn 40/1 for Apparel from Japan
This is a high-count single flax yarn, wet-spun to a fine 40/1 metric count, intended for weaving lightweight apparel fabrics such as blouses and dresses. As a single yarn (not plied or cabled), it falls squarely under tariff item 5306.10.00, which covers single flax yarn. Its fine count and wet-spun finish make it suitable for plain-weave printcloth or poplin, consistent with the chapter's scope for flax yarns.

Import Tips
• Ensure the yarn is declared as single (not multiple or cabled) to qualify for 5306.10.00; provide a mill certificate confirming the yarn count and spinning method
• Verify the yarn is not put up for retail sale in small packages, as that could affect classification
• Keep records of the fibre content (100% flax) to support the tariff classification
