Stretch Chenille Upholstery Yarn from China
Stretch Chenille Upholstery Yarn is a chenille yarn incorporating elastomeric filaments for enhanced stretch, used primarily in upholstery fabrics. It is classified under tariff item 5606.00.00 as chenille yarn, which is explicitly listed in the heading, and the elastomeric content does not exclude it from this chapter. The yarn provides a soft, plush texture with recoverable elasticity for furniture applications.

Import Tips
• Confirm that the elastomeric filaments are not the predominant material, as that could affect classification under Section Note 2
• Keep records of the chenille construction process, including the pile and core yarns, for CBSA verification
• Be aware that upholstery yarn may be subject to additional labelling requirements under Canadian consumer product safety laws
