Import Tips
• Obtain chemical composition certificate proving aramid polyamide to distinguish from other synthetics during inspection
• Conduct twist measurement tests pre-shipment; discrepancies can lead to duty adjustments or seizures
• Avoid retail-style packaging; ship in bulk cones to maintain 'not put up for retail sale' status
