Import Tips
• Confirm the carbon additive does not change the essential character of the tow; it should still be classified as polypropylene tow
• Provide technical data on the tow's specifications (length, twist, decitex) to support classification
• Be aware that the conductive property may attract additional scrutiny from CBSA regarding end-use
