Import Tips
• Submit decitex certification and twist measurement reports; common pitfall is mismeasuring twist leading to duty disputes
• Confirm single yarn vs plied; plied configurations may shift to statistical suffixes
• Avoid retail packaging—ship in industrial cones to maintain not-for-retail classification
