Import Tips
• Include dyeing process documentation if colored, as pigments must not alter paper yarn status
• Label clearly as 'paper yarn' to prevent confusion with cotton crochet thread under Chapter 52
• Ensure supplier provides twist density specs; low-twist imports often flagged for cordage classification
