Import Tips

Verify exact decitex (≤920), twist (≥5 turns/m), and high tenacity certification via lab tests to confirm classification under 5402.20.30.30

Provide mill test certificates showing polyester composition and filament count; declare as not for retail sale to avoid Chapter 55

Watch for misdeclaration as sewing thread (Chapter 54 exclusions) or untwisted yarn, which shifts to other subheadings
