Import Tips
• Ensure the yarn is not put up for retail sale in a manner that would classify it under a different heading, such as twine or cordage
• Verify the fiber content is exclusively abaca and not blended with other materials that could alter classification
• Keep commercial invoices and certificates of origin ready to support the declared tariff classification
