Import Tips & Compliance

Verify denier, filament count, and twist levels in supplier documentation to confirm classification as multiple polyester yarn

Obtain mill test certificates proving polyester composition (>85% polyester) to avoid misclassification as blends

Ensure yarn is not packaged for retail (e.g

no consumer spools) to prevent shifting to Chapter 55 headings
