Import Tips

• Verify twist measurement (5+ turns/m) via lab testing as per ASTM standards to confirm classification under 5402.45.90.40 and avoid reclassification to lower twist subheadings

• Provide detailed yarn specifications including denier, filament count, and polymer type (e.g

• nylon 6.6) on commercial invoice to prevent customs holds

• Ensure yarn is not packaged for retail sale; bulk spools only, as retail packaging shifts to Chapter 55 headings
