Import Tips
• Label cones with fiber content percentages accurate to 1% tolerance, as CBP audits blends for synthetic staple dominance
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain polyester staple yarns from Asia; check Commerce scope rulings
• Use ISF filings early for yarn shipments, as bulk cones often arrive via container from high-volume producers
