Import Tips
• Verify the yarn composition through lab testing to confirm it's paper yarn (twisted paper strips) and not synthetic, as misclassification can lead to penalties
• Provide certificates of origin and fiber content labels, as paper yarn is considered a textile fabric under Chapter 65
• Avoid importing worn or toy versions, excluded under chapter notes to prevent reclassification to 6309 or Chapter 95
