Import Tips & Compliance

Verify decitex measurement exceeds 920 and twist is under 5 turns/meter via lab testing to confirm HTS 5402.20.30.50 classification

Provide manufacturer's certification of high tenacity polyester composition and non-retail packaging to avoid misclassification

Watch for common pitfalls like incorrect twist measurement leading to reclassification under twisted yarn subheadings
