Import Tips
• Verify staple fiber content exceeds 85% polyester via lab testing to confirm classification under Chapter 55
• Provide mill certificates showing yarn count and ply to avoid misclassification as sewing thread under Chapter 52
• Ensure yarn is not retail-packaged; bulk cones only to prevent reclassification under heading 5509 subheading for retail
