Import Tips
• Ensure the RFL treatment is declared as a surface finish, not a separate component, to avoid reclassification
• Keep mill certificates showing filament diameter and tensile strength for CBSA verification
• Verify whether the cord qualifies for preferential treatment under a free trade agreement by providing a valid certificate of origin
