This is a single polyester textured filament yarn with 150 denier and 48 filaments, designed for weaving apparel fabrics.

The yarn's low decitex (less than 67) and textured nature distinguish it from flat or sewing threads.

Import Tips
• Verify denier/decitex and filament count on invoices to confirm single yarn status under 67 decitex; misclassification as multi-yarn leads to audits
• Provide mill test certificates showing textured process (e.g
• false-twist) to differentiate from flat yarn in 5402.33
• Avoid retail packaging; bulk spools only, as 'put up for retail sale' shifts to 5402.43
