Import Tips
• Provide color-fastness certificates if dyed, as synthetic yarns often face quality checks
• Ensure skein packaging qualifies as 'retail put up' with consumer-ready labels to avoid bulk reclassification
• Declare exact denier on entry; variances can lead to audits under finer yarn subheadings
