Import Tips

Verify twist measurement (5-50 turns/m) and denier (<67 dtex) via lab testing to confirm HTS 5402.49.91.75 classification

Provide mill certificates confirming polyethylene composition to avoid misclassification as nylon or polyester

Ensure packaging is bulk (not retail) with proper documentation to prevent reclassification under Chapter 55
