Import Tips

Verify exact decitex (75-80), filament count (24), and twist (5+ turns/m) via lab testing to match 5402.47.10.40; mismatches lead to reclassification

Provide mill certificates confirming wholly polyester composition and single yarn status, as multifilament tow falls under Chapter 55

Ensure not packaged for retail sale; bulk spools only, avoiding consumer-ready labeling to prevent Chapter 55 or 5406 shifts
