Import Tips & Compliance

Document polymer type (caprolactam) via FTIR analysis for polyamide confirmation; pitfall is generic 'synthetic yarn' declarations

Ensure no retail labeling or consumer packaging; industrial cones only

For high-volume imports, pre-apply for quota if applicable under textile restraints
