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
