Import Tips
• Verify filament denier and twist count documentation to confirm multiple (folded) classification under 5402.63
• Obtain mill test certificates proving polypropylene composition to avoid reclassification as polyethylene
• Ensure yarn is not put up for retail sale (e.g
• no consumer packaging) to prevent shifting to Chapter 55
