Import Tips
• Test for cabling (multiple plies twisted together) as customs may require lab analysis for single vs. multiple verification
• Label shipments clearly as industrial yarn to differentiate from retail sewing thread under 5402.41
• Check for anti-dumping duties on polyester yarn from specific countries like China or India
