It is classified under tariff item 5511.20.00 because it is a yarn of synthetic staple fibres (polyester) containing less than 85% by weight of such fibres, and is put up for retail sale.

Import Tips
• Ensure the yarn is genuinely put up for retail sale (e.g
• on cones under 500g) to qualify for this heading; otherwise, it may fall under a different classification
• Verify the fibre composition with a lab test or supplier certificate, as the 70/30 blend must be confirmed for correct duty assessment
• Declare the yarn's use (e.g
• tapestry craft) to avoid misclassification as sewing thread
