Import Tips & Compliance

Verify tenacity certification (min 7 g/denier) via manufacturer test reports to confirm HTS 5402.20.30 classification

Include detailed yarn specifications (denier, twist, elongation) in commercial invoice to avoid reclassification to lower tenacity codes

Ensure not 'put up for retail sale' – bulk spools only; retail packaging shifts to Chapter 55
