Polyester-Viscose Cabled Yarn 20s/2 from China
This is a cabled yarn made from polyester synthetic staple fibers mixed mainly with viscose rayon artificial staple fibers, with a yarn count of 20s/2, suitable for weaving industrial fabrics. It falls under HTS 5509.99.4000 because it consists of multiple folded or cabled yarns, not put up for retail sale, and is mixed mainly with artificial staple fibers. The folding process enhances strength for heavy-duty applications like upholstery.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber composition via lab tests to confirm 'mainly with artificial staple fibers' for accurate classification under 5509.99.4000
• Provide mill certificates documenting yarn count, folding type (e.g
• 20s/2 cabled), and non-retail packaging to avoid misclassification
