Import Tips
• Measure apparent width precisely (<5 mm) and confirm flat strip form to distinguish from monofilament
• Include chemical composition analysis proving synthetic textile base over rubber dominance
• Label as 'for weaving' to prevent reclassification as finished yarn; watch for bulk packaging pitfalls
