Import Tips
• > Confirm the tow's total linear density exceeds 20,000 decitex and filament count meets chapter note 1; heavy-denier tows may approach limits, so measure carefully
• Ensure the tow is not high-tenacity, as that would exclude it from heading 55.01
• Document the intended use (carpet fiber production) to support classification if CBSA queries
