Import Tips

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
