Import Tips

• Include twist test certificates demonstrating cabled construction (multiple plies twisted together) to confirm HTS classification

• Label packages clearly as 'industrial yarn, not retail' and avoid consumer packaging to stay out of retail subheadings

• Watch for common pitfalls like undervaluation; declare accurate yarn count and fiber specs to avoid penalties
