Import Tips
• Verify staple fiber content exceeds 85% acrylic via lab testing to confirm classification under heading 5509
• Ensure yarn is on cones or beams, not consumer skeins, to avoid retail sale provisions in Chapter 55
• Include mill certificates documenting yarn number and twist to prevent misclassification as sewing thread
