Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm cotton exceeds 50% for this classification; mislabeling leads to reclassification
• Include mill certificates and yarn specifications in documentation to prove it's not put up for retail sale
• Avoid common pitfalls like importing in consumer-ready skeins, which shifts to Chapter 55 retail yarn headings
