Import Tips

Verify yarn number and ply count via lab testing to confirm classification under 'other yarn' excluding multiples

Provide mill certificates showing artificial staple fiber composition (e.g

viscose, acetate) for customs clearance

Avoid retail packaging; ship in cones or beams to qualify as not put up for retail sale and prevent misclassification
