If woven into certified hand-loomed fabric
Hand-loomed fabrics from such yarns qualify for special Chapter 52 provisions with different tariff treatment.
If for industrial end-use with >85% man-made
If viscose predominates and yarn is for non-apparel industrial use, it shifts to Chapter 55 mixed fabrics or yarns.

• Document non-retail intent with end-use statements or buyer contracts to prevent reclassification as retail yarn
• Measure yarn number after boiling off sizing per US note formula (N=BYT/1000) for accurate 52-80 nm verification
