Import Tips
• Declare exact blend ratio and spinning method (e.g
• open-end) to comply with statistical reporting suffixes under 5509
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing based on weight; duties apply per kilogram regardless of yarn fineness
• Include commercial invoices specifying 'not for retail sale' to differentiate from consumer-packaged yarn
