Import Tips

• Verify yarn tenacity exceeds high-tenacity thresholds via manufacturer specs and provide test certificates for customs compliance

• Ensure documentation confirms twist rate of 5+ turns/meter and decitex under 920 to avoid reclassification

• Label clearly as industrial yarn not for retail to prevent misclassification under retail-packaged headings
