Polyester Folded Textured Yarn 150D/2 from Japan
This is a textured polyester filament yarn consisting of two 150 denier strands folded together, used primarily in weaving upholstery and apparel fabrics. It falls under HTS 5402.39.61 because it is synthetic textured yarn made from multiple (folded) yarns, not put up for retail sale. The folding process enhances strength and bulk for industrial textile applications.

Import Tips
• Verify denier and fold count via lab testing to confirm classification as multiple (folded) yarn under 5402.39.61
• Include mill test certificates documenting yarn construction to avoid misclassification as single yarn
• Ensure declaration excludes retail packaging to prevent shifting to higher-duty retail codes
