Import Tips
• Verify decitex measurement (67+ required) and cross-section (<1 mm) via lab testing to confirm classification under 5405
• Provide mill certificates showing artificial textile material origin to avoid reclassification as natural fiber
• Declare exact diameter and denier on entry documents; common pitfall is mislabeling as multifilament yarn
