Import Tips
• Verify denier or decitex measurement and twist level (≤50 turns/m) via lab testing to confirm HTS 5402.44.0040 classification and avoid misclassification as higher twist yarn
• Provide manufacturer's yarn specifications and end-use declaration; ensure not packaged for retail to prevent shifting to Chapter 55
