Import Tips
• Verify yarn denier is exactly 200 and confirm artificial monofilament composition via lab tests for Chapter 54 classification
• Include retail packaging details in documentation; bulk spools may shift to 5403
• Label fiber content accurately as '100% viscose rayon' to avoid misclassification as synthetic
