Import Tips
• Verify exact weight per square meter via lab testing to confirm >170 g/m² classification and avoid reclassification to lighter fabrics
• Provide mill certificates proving ≥85% nylon/polyamide filament content for customs valuation
• Ensure no dyeing or finishing processes occurred, as bleached/dyed versions shift to other subheadings
