Import Tips

• Include spinning machine certification (e.g

• Rieter compact system) and yarn test reports showing compact structure vs standard ring yarn

• Label shipments clearly as 'not for retail sale' with commercial quantities (>5kg packages) to prevent reclassification under retail headings

• Monitor HTS statistical suffix .21 for compact (301) tracking; mismatches in fineness measurement can trigger audits
