Import Tips
• Verify aramid composition via manufacturer's certificate to confirm high tenacity and HTS classification
• Include test reports proving yarn exceeds high tenacity thresholds (e.g
• 13 g/denier) to avoid reclassification
• Ensure documentation specifies 'multiple or cabled' structure to distinguish from single yarns under 5402.11.30
