Kenaf Sewing Thread Yarn from Japan
Kenaf sewing thread yarn is a fine-spun yarn made from kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) fibers, used for specialty sewing and upholstery applications. Kenaf is a bast fiber, but this yarn is not elsewhere specified in the tariff, so it falls under tariff item 5308.90.00. The yarn is processed to a fineness suitable for sewing, distinguishing it from coarser vegetable fiber yarns.

Import Tips
• Confirm the yarn is not put up on supports of 1,000 g or less with a Z twist, which would classify it as sewing thread under heading 52.04 or 54.01
• Verify the kenaf fiber is not blended with other materials that could change the classification
• Provide fiber composition and processing details to CBSA
