Import Tips

Verify yarn composition via lab testing to confirm polyester main with artificial staple fibers exceeds 85% for accurate classification

Provide mill certificates documenting folded/cabled structure to avoid misclassification as single yarn

Ensure not 'put up for retail sale' by shipping in large industrial cones; retail packaging shifts to Chapter 55 headings
