Retted Hemp Long Fibers from Japan
Long line fibers from Cannabis sativa hemp stalks separated via water or dew retting but not spun or scutched. These processed-but-unspun fibers are ideal for high-quality yarn production. HTS 5302.90.00.00 covers this 'other' category of true hemp beyond raw scoured forms.

Import Tips
• Include retting process certificates to distinguish from raw fiber and prevent reclassification
• Ensure fibers exceed minimum length specifications (typically >6 inches) for line fiber status
• Bundle securely to avoid fiber damage during transit, which could trigger waste reclassification
