High-Tenacity Polyester Lockstitch Thread from Germany

> This is a high-tenacity polyester filament thread engineered for lockstitch machines in automotive textiles and bags. It is a sewing thread of synthetic filaments, specifically high-tenacity polyester, and is presented on large industrial cones. The high-tenacity property does not exclude it from this heading as it is still prepared as sewing thread.

Import Tips

• > Classify the thread under 5401.10.00 as sewing thread, even though it is high tenacity, as it is specifically prepared for sewing

• Provide tenacity test data to the CBSA to confirm it meets the high-tenacity definition but is still sewing thread

• Verify if the automotive end-use requires any additional certifications or documentation for import
