Import Tips

Verify twist measurement exceeds 5 turns per meter with lab testing to confirm classification under 5403.33.0040

Provide mill certificates detailing cellulose acetate composition and denier to avoid misclassification as untwisted yarn

Ensure not packaged for retail sale; bulk spools only to prevent shift to Chapter 55 headings
