Import Tips
• Document the NMMO solvent process and wood pulp origin to confirm the artificial (regenerated cellulose) nature of the tow
• Ensure the tow's total measurement exceeds 20,000 decitex and filament length exceeds 2 m to meet Chapter 55 Note 1
• Verify the tow is not textured, as textured yarns fall under other headings
