Polyester-Cotton Spun Yarn 50/50 Blend from Japan

This is a spun yarn made from 50% polyester staple fibres and 50% cotton, used for weaving fabrics like shirting. 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 cotton predominates over the polyester, as no other single textile material exceeds it).

Import Tips

• Verify the yarn is in bulk packaging (e.g

• cones) and not for retail sale

• Declare the fibre blend (50% polyester, 50% cotton) to CBSA; since cotton is the only other material and it is not less than polyester, it is considered mixed mainly with cotton

• Provide a lab test report to confirm the blend ratio
