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
