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
