Import Tips
• Verify twist direction and metric (Z twist 200) via lab testing to confirm statistical suffix eligibility and avoid reclassification
• Provide mill certificates showing 85%+ polyester staple fiber content and folded construction for CBP review
• Ensure yarn is not put up for retail (e.g
• no consumer packaging) to prevent shift to Chapter 55 retail headings
