Import Tips
• Use ISO-certified labs for twist/decitex verification; common pitfall is mismeasurement leading to duty refunds
• Avoid mixing with polyester blends which trigger different Chapter 54 subheadings
• Bulk ship in master cartons; consumer packaging risks reclass to retail yarn categories
