Import Tips

Verify yarn fineness in decitex (under 67 dtex) and twist (≤50 turns/m) via lab testing to confirm 5402.47.90 classification and avoid misclassification penalties

Provide manufacturer's denier/dtex specs and twist count certificates; declare as 'not put up for retail sale' to prevent reclassification to Chapter 55

Watch for contamination with natural fibers exceeding 5%, which could shift to blended yarn headings; ensure polyester purity documentation
