HSN Code Details
These are long‑chain polyester yarns with a tensile strength exceeding 1,200 kg and a smooth, lustrous finish, ideal for use in high‑quality textile production. A key consideration for shippers is that the yarn must be kept dry to avoid moisture absorption during transit.
When exporting, the yarn should be packed in moisture‑proof containers and sealed with desiccants; it is best shipped in standard 20‑ft containers to optimize space and reduce handling damage. Documentation should include a Certificate of Origin and a detailed packing list specifying the yarn’s grade and twist count.
