Import Tips
• Verify filament composition via lab testing to confirm synthetic origin and avoid reclassification to natural fiber threads
• Include mill certificates documenting yarn denier and twist to prove it's sewing thread, not general yarn
• For bulk imports, ensure packaging isn't consumer-ready to prevent duty shifts under retail provisions
