Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the yarn is single and not put up for retail sale
• Ensure the polyamide content is at least 85% by weight; high-tenacity yarns may require additional testing
• If the yarn is used in airbag fabrics, verify it is not coated or laminated, as that would change classification
