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
