Import Tips
• Ensure the yarn is not put up for retail sale (e.g
• on spools under 125 g) to qualify for this tariff item
• Declare the fibre composition accurately, as polyester content of 85% or more by weight is required
• Keep supplier documentation showing the yarn is multiple (folded) or cabled, as single yarns fall under a different heading
