Import Tips
• Verify exact decitex measurement (must exceed 67) and cross-sectional dimension (<1 mm) via lab testing for accurate classification
• Provide manufacturer's specifications confirming elastomeric properties (e.g
• >100% elongation) and synthetic composition
• Avoid misclassification as non-elastomeric by ensuring documentation highlights stretch recovery characteristics
