Import Tips
• Break down ply composition in documentation; mixed unbleached/bleached plies may qualify as 'bleached yarn' per note (b)
• Use large industrial cones (minimum 1kg) to clearly distinguish from retail craft yarn formats
• Include yarn twist multiplier and end-use statement confirming non-sewing applications
