Import Tips

Verify monofilament diameter and decitex via lab testing to confirm classification under 5404, avoiding reclassification as yarn

Provide manufacturer specs on cross-sectional dimensions; exceedances over 1 mm shift to other headings

Include end-use declarations to prevent misclassification as textile machinery parts
