Import Tips
• Verify high tenacity certification through yarn tensile strength tests to confirm classification under 5407.10
• Provide mill test reports documenting filament yarn composition to avoid misclassification as regular woven fabrics
• Ensure documentation distinguishes from coated fabrics under 5903 to prevent duty reassessment
