Import Tips
• Verify denier and twist levels with lab testing to confirm <67 dtex and <5 turns/m for accurate classification
• Include mill certificates proving synthetic elastomeric composition to avoid reclassification as non-elastomeric yarn
• Ensure not put up for retail sale (e.g
• no consumer packaging) to prevent shift to Chapter 55 headings
