Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify filament composition exceeds 85% nylon/polyamides via lab testing; declarations must match statistical note specs for decitex and thread count to avoid reclassification

β€’ Provide mill certificates confirming unbleached/bleached status and exact thread counts (warp 59-83/cm, filling 39-55/cm, warp ≀60% total) during customs entry
