Important Considerations & Recommendations:

• Material Composition: The correct HS code highly depends on the exact material composition of your "FUR YARN." Is it natural fur, synthetic fibers, a blend? Provide detailed fiber content information.

• Retail Packaging: Is the yarn sold in bulk or packaged for retail sale?
• April 2, 2025 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the significant tariff increases coming into effect.
• Origin: The country of origin of the yarn will also affect the applicable tariffs.
