Import Tips
• Submit yarn count (denier to decitex conversion) and twist certification; discrepancies lead to 5402.33 reclassification
• Declare total weight excluding bobbins; bulk import lots often scrutinized for retail packaging indicators
• Avoid common error of grouping with sewing thread—ensure entry specifies 'not sewing thread' per Chapter 54 exclusions
