Import Tips
• Verify yarn composition via lab tests to confirm ≥85% nylon filaments, as blends may shift classification
• Include dyeing certification and weight documentation (g/m²) in entry paperwork to avoid reclassification
• Watch for ripstop weave misinterpretation; ensure it's not deemed a specialty weave outside statistical notes
