Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Verify the waste is specifically yarn/thread waste, not garnetted stock, to avoid reclassification under other subheadings
ā¢ Provide documentation certifying origin and composition, as quantitative limits apply to certain countries under U.S. notes
ā¢ Inspect for contamination; clean yarn waste may qualify for better pricing but ensure accurate declaration
