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
