Single Flax Sewing Thread Yarn 60/1 from Mexico
This is an ultra-fine single flax yarn with a 60/1 metric count, intended for specialty sewing threads in high-end tailoring. Although it is called 'sewing thread,' it is a single yarn and does not meet the definition of sewing thread in Section XI Note 5, which requires multiple (folded) or cabled yarn. Therefore, it is correctly classified under tariff item 5306.10.00 as single flax yarn.

Import Tips
• Ensure the yarn is single and not plied; if it is plied, it may fall under 5306.20.00 or be classified as sewing thread under 5306.10.00 if it meets Note 5 criteria
• Document the yarn count and twist direction (Z-twist) to avoid misclassification as sewing thread
• Verify the yarn is not put up on supports weighing over 1,000 g, which could alter its classification
