Import Tips
• Request breaking strength test reports (minimum 8.5 g/denier) to substantiate high tenacity claim during customs review
• Label shipments clearly as 'industrial cabled yarn - not for retail' to prevent misclassification
• Check for twist direction (Z or S) in specs, as excessive twisting might affect weave classification downstream
