Import Tips
• Verify the tow meets all chapter note 1 criteria, including total tow mass exceeding 20,000 decitex and filament fineness below 67 decitex
• If the tow is imported in cut lengths under 2 m, it must be reclassified as staple fibre
• Document the filtration end-use to distinguish this product from apparel-grade tow, which may face different verification scrutiny
