Import Tips
• Use ISCC or similar certifications for sustainable polyamide sourcing to meet growing ESG import requirements
• Segregate POY from draw-textured yarn (DTY) in invoices to maintain low-twist classification
• Confirm yarn titer <67 decitex if applicable, as higher moves to other unlisted provisions
