Import Tips
• Verify the yarn meets heading 5605 specifications for metalized yarn via lab testing to avoid reclassification
• Provide end-use documentation proving apparel or furnishing application, as general-purpose fabrics may shift to Chapter 56
• Label fiber content accurately, disclosing metal content percentage to comply with textile import regulations
