Import Tips

• 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
