Import Tips
• Document twist levels precisely as customs may test samples; exceeding 50 turns/m shifts to different subheading
• Include supplier specs showing no retail packaging to maintain bulk yarn classification
• Beware of contamination; pure polyethylene required—admixtures may trigger reclassification
