Yes. 'Not for retail sale' means the yarn must be imported in forms intended for industrial or commercial use — typically large cones, tubes, or hanks — rather than small consumer skeins with retail labeling. CBP may examine packaging and labeling to confirm the yarn is not in a form suitable for direct retail sale, which would shift classification to a different heading.
Textile yarns from certain origins can be subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders, and the specific applicability depends on the country of origin and the exact product scope of any active orders at the time of entry. Importers should check the CBP and Commerce Department AD/CVD order database for current orders covering acrylic staple fiber yarn before filing.
