Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify high-tenacity yarn certification from supplier to confirm classification under 5407, avoiding reclassification to general polyester fabrics
• Include lab test reports for weight (≤170 g/m²) and yarn tenacity in documentation to prevent customs disputes
• Label clearly as 'high-tenacity polyester woven fabric' and avoid mixing with non-high-tenacity rolls to sidestep set classification issues
