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
