Import Tips
• Verify decitex <67 and twist ≤5 turns/m with lab tests to confirm 5402.49.91.15 classification
• Provide manufacturer specs on polyethylene content and monofilament structure to avoid reclassification
• Ensure not put up for retail sale; bulk spools only, as retail packaging shifts to Chapter 55
