Fire-Retardant Polyester-Cotton Blend Yarn from Mexico
This is a fire-retardant polyester staple (30%) and cotton (70%) yarn for protective clothing fabrics. It falls under tariff item 5509.92.00 because it is yarn of synthetic staple fibres, not put up for retail sale, and is mixed mainly or solely with cotton; the FR finish is integral to the fibres and does not alter classification.

Import Tips
• Ensure the yarn is not put up for retail sale to meet the tariff item's scope
• Provide CBSA with the fibre blend (30% polyester, 70% cotton) and documentation on the FR treatment to confirm it does not change the yarn's classification
• Keep safety data sheets for the FR chemicals, as they may be subject to other regulations
