Import Tips

• Ensure the yarn is not reinforced with metal thread, as that would shift classification to twine, cordage, or ropes under heading 56.07

• Declare the yarn's decitex; if it exceeds 10,000, it may be treated as twine, cordage, or ropes per Section XI Note 3

• Keep commercial invoices showing the gimping process to support the classification
