Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify decitex measurement (67+ required) and cross-section (<1 mm) via lab testing to confirm classification under 5405

β€’ Provide mill certificates showing artificial textile material origin to avoid reclassification as natural fiber

β€’ Declare exact diameter and denier on entry documents; common pitfall is mislabeling as multifilament yarn
