Import Tips

• Include end-use declarations for tire cord to support high tenacity claim; mismatches can lead to duty adjustments

• Test and certify twist levels independently, as customs may sample for compliance with 5+ turns/meter

• Avoid retail labeling or consumer packaging to prevent shift to higher-duty retail yarn codes
