Import Tips
• Document ripstop weave details but ensure no selvage exclusions affect weave classification per statistical note (a)
• Separate kite fabric rolls from apparel fabrics in shipments to prevent commingling misclassification
• Request tenacity test data (e.g
• >8 g/denier) to substantiate high-tenacity claim during audits
