Import Tips

• Verify linear density below 67 decitex and zero twist via lab testing; provide manufacturer specs to CBP

• Include certificates confirming high tenacity viscose rayon composition to avoid reclassification as standard yarn

• Declare exact decitex and monofilament structure; common pitfall is mislabeling as multifilament leading to duties
