Import Tips

• Verify high tenacity certification and aramid composition via lab tests to confirm classification under 5402.11.30 and avoid misclassification as standard nylon yarn

• Provide detailed yarn specifications including denier, twist, and tenacity in commercial invoices to facilitate customs clearance

• Ensure yarn is not packaged for retail sale; bulk spools are required to prevent reclassification under retail headings
