Viscose-Polyester-Cotton Terry Yarn Blend from Germany

This is a three-way blend yarn with 20% viscose, 20% polyester staple, and 60% cotton for terry towel loop pile. It falls under tariff item 5509.92.00 because it is yarn of synthetic staple fibres (polyester is the synthetic component), not put up for retail sale, and is mixed mainly or solely with cotton; the viscose is an artificial fibre and does not change the predominance of cotton.

Import Tips

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

• cones) and not for retail sale

• Declare the full fibre blend (20% viscose, 20% polyester, 60% cotton) to CBSA; cotton predominates, so it falls under this item

• Provide a lab test report to confirm the blend percentages
