Import Tips
• Verify monofilament diameter and decitex via lab testing to confirm >67 decitex and ≤1mm cross-section for 5404 classification
• Provide manufacturer specs and extrusion process documentation to avoid misclassification as yarn under 5402
• Ensure labeling distinguishes from multifilament lines to prevent reclassification during customs exam
