Import Tips
• Declare exact waste type (noil vs garnetted) in entry docs; misdeclaration risks reclassification to higher-duty categories
• Provide lab analysis confirming unbleached status per subheading note (a) if grey yarn appearance questioned by customs
• Avoid retail-style cones/bags; ship in industrial cones over 1 kg to preserve 5005 classification
