Import Tips

• Verify yarn construction documentation proving multiple (folded) or cabled structure to avoid misclassification as single yarn

• Provide lab test reports confirming 85%+ artificial staple fiber content, such as polyester or acrylic, for customs clearance

• Ensure supplier invoices specify 'not for retail sale' and industrial end-use to prevent reclassification under retail headings
