It falls under HTS 5402.52.90.00 as it is synthetic polyester filament yarn, single, not put up for retail sale, and not classified under specific statistical suffixes for textured or bulked yarn.

Import Tips

• 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
