Modal-Cotton Semi-Synthetic Blend Yarn from Japan
This is a high-wet-modulus modal (regenerated cellulose) staple yarn mixed 40/60 with cotton for soft bedding fabrics. It falls under tariff item 5509.92.00 because modal is a synthetic staple fibre (man-made), and the yarn is mixed mainly with cotton and not put up for retail sale.

Import Tips
• Verify the yarn is in bulk packaging (e.g
• cones) and not for retail sale
• Declare the fibre blend (40% modal, 60% cotton) to CBSA; modal is treated as a man-made fibre for classification
• Keep supplier documentation confirming the modal is a regenerated cellulose fibre, not a natural fibre
