Import Tips
• Ensure the tow is not yet twisted or processed into rope, as that would reclassify it under Chapter 56
• Document the tow's specifications, including total decitex and filament count, to meet chapter note 1
• Verify the high-tenacity property does not affect classification; it remains polypropylene tow
