Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm polyester is the primary synthetic staple fiber mixed mainly with cotton, as required for 5509 classification

• Provide mill certificates and yarn count specifications in documentation to avoid misclassification as sewing thread under Chapter 52

• Ensure yarn is not packaged for retail (e.g

• no consumer labels) to prevent reclassification under 5509.90 retail provisions
