Import Tips
• Verify denier and ply count via lab testing to confirm multiple (folded) classification under statistical note (b)
• Provide mill certificates showing synthetic filament composition and non-retail packaging to avoid misclassification
• Watch for common pitfalls like incorrect declaration as single yarn, leading to reclassification under 5402.62
