Import Tips
• Provide cabling specifications and decitex measurements (<67 dtex for monofilament exclusion) in entry documents
• Label spools clearly as 'industrial use only' to distinguish from retail sewing thread under 5401
• Conduct polymer analysis if origin claims are disputed, as polypropylene must be verified chemically
