Import Tips & Compliance

โ€ข Provide spinning fiber length and micronization certifications to validate group 3 grade compliance during customs examination

โ€ข Ensure end-use declarations specify industrial spinning to prevent misclassification as general milled fibers

โ€ข Watch for contamination thresholds; fibers exceeding purity standards may require retesting and duty adjustment
