Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify twist exceeds 50 turns/m and provide lab test reports to customs for classification confirmation

• Ensure yarn is not packaged for retail (e.g

• no consumer spools) to avoid reclassification under heading 5402 as put up for sale

• Include denier measurement and polyester content certification to prevent disputes over synthetic filament specs
