Import Tips
• Verify the yarn is not classified as sewing thread by confirming it's not explicitly marketed or twisted for sewing machines
• Include detailed packaging specs and retail labeling in documentation to prove 'put up for retail sale' status
• Test for exact polyester composition (>85%) to avoid reclassification under mixed fiber headings
