Import Tips

• 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
