70% Viscose 30% Polyester Retail Tapestry Yarn from Germany

This is a thick tapestry yarn made from 70% viscose and 30% polyester staple fibres, presented on 400g cones for retail sale in craft kits. 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. The viscose component is a man-made fibre, and the yarn is textured for weaving wall hangings.

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
