• Label clearly as 'monofilament of ethylene polymers' to prevent confusion with twisted yarns in Chapter 54
• Retain extrusion process documentation showing no secondary operations beyond surface texturing
• Test for cross-section uniformity; irregular shapes may require profile shape verification
