Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the yarn's twist does not exceed 50 turns per metre, as higher twist requires a different tariff classification
• Provide the decitex measurement (61 dtex) and confirm the yarn is not for retail sale to avoid reclassification
• Retain mill certificates showing the twist and denier for CBSA audits
