Import Tips
• Submit chemical analysis proving regenerated cellulose base to distinguish from synthetic under 5402
• Avoid twisting during import—plied versions risk reclass to heading 5406 for artificial yarn
• Document denier/decitex conversions accurately; U.S
• Customs strictly enforces 67 decitex threshold
