Import Tips

• Verify exact thread count and decitex measurements via lab testing to confirm classification under 5407.41.00.10; deviations may shift to general 5407.41

• Provide mill certificates proving 85%+ nylon content and unbleached/bleached status to avoid reclassification

• Ensure selvages are documented as woven, not cut, in commercial invoices to prevent customs disputes
