Import Tips
• Confirm the fibers are not processed for spinning; if they are, classification may shift
• Include documentation that the fibers are meta-aramid, not para-aramid, to avoid misclassification
• Be aware that if the fibers are blended with other materials, Section XI Note 2 may affect classification
