Import Tips
• Verify staple fiber content exceeds 85% polyamide via lab testing to confirm classification under 5509.12
• Provide mill certificates documenting yarn construction as multiple or cabled, avoiding misclassification as single yarn
• Ensure not put up for retail sale (e.g
• no consumer packaging) to prevent shift to Chapter 55 retail headings
