Import Tips

• Verify yarn count, twist direction, and decitex via lab testing to confirm classification under 5403 as artificial multiple yarn

• Provide mill test certificates documenting filament composition (e.g

• viscose rayon) to avoid reclassification to natural fibers

• Ensure no retail packaging; bulk spools only, as retail puts up shifts to Chapter 55
