Import Tips
• Include tenacity test reports to distinguish from standard polyester yarns and support valuation
• Confirm no retail packaging; industrial bulk form prevents misclassification to consumer yarn headings
• Watch for antidumping duties on high-tenacity polyester from certain origins like China
