Import Tips
• Verify yarn count and folding structure via lab testing to confirm <67 decitex monofilament and multiple configuration for 5403.42 classification
• Provide mill certificates documenting cellulose acetate composition to avoid reclassification as synthetic under 5402
• Ensure not packaged for retail sale; bulk spools only, as retail puts it under 5504
