Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the yarn is not put up for retail sale; carpet yarns are typically supplied on large cones or in bulk, which is acceptable
• Ensure the fibre ratio is accurately documented, as the predominant fibre (polyester) determines the classification
• Be aware that if the yarn is used for carpets, it may still fall under this heading unless made up
