Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify yarn construction with lab tests to confirm folded or cabled status, as single yarns fall under different subheadings
• Provide mill certificates documenting fiber composition to prove 'mixed mainly with synthetic staple fibers' for correct classification
• Avoid retail packaging; ensure yarn is in cones or beams for industrial use to prevent misclassification as put-up yarn
