Import Tips

Verify yarn count and folding structure with lab tests to confirm classification under 5403.41 as multiple yarn

Provide mill certificates showing viscose rayon composition and decitex under 67 to avoid reclassification

Avoid retail packaging; ship in industrial cones or beams to prevent shifting to Chapter 55 headings
