Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the yarn is not textured in a way that would classify it under a different heading; DTY with twist >50 turns/m is acceptable here
• Provide the decitex equivalent (133 decitex) in your customs documentation
• Ensure the yarn is not put up for retail sale, as that would change the classification
