Stretch Chenille Upholstery Yarn from China
Chenille yarn incorporating elastomeric filaments for enhanced stretch, used primarily in upholstery fabrics. It falls under HTS 5606.00.00.10 due to its chenille construction with elastomeric filaments, distinguishing it from non-stretch variants. The fluffy pile structure combined with spandex provides elasticity ideal for fitted furniture covers.

Import Tips
• Verify elastomeric filament content exceeds 5% via lab testing to confirm classification under 5606.00.00.10
• Provide mill certificates documenting yarn construction to avoid misclassification as simple chenille
• Watch for common pitfalls like undervaluation in upholstery yarn imports leading to audits
