Import Tips

• Verify decitex measurement does not exceed 920 and twist is under 5 turns per meter via lab testing to avoid reclassification

• Provide manufacturer's certification of high tenacity properties and polyester composition for customs clearance

• Avoid retail packaging; ship in bulk spools to maintain 'not put up for retail sale' status and qualify for this rate
