Import Tips

• Ensure the fibers are not carded, combed, or otherwise processed for spinning, as this would change classification

• Declare the exact polymer composition (para-aramid) to support the aramid classification

• Keep records of the manufacturing process to demonstrate the fibers meet the tow length and decitex specifications if questioned
