Import Tips
• Provide combing waste analysis reports showing fiber preparation meets 'combed fibers' definition
• Label shipments clearly as 'industrial yarn - not retail packaged' to prevent Chapter 55 consumer yarn classification
• Test for sizing content removal per US note procedures before weight-based metric calculations
