Import Tips & Compliance

Provide mill test certificates for filament type and tenacity to substantiate polyamide classification

Declare exact weight per square meter accurately; exceeding 170 g/m² shifts to higher subheadings

Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'nylon tow'—this is finished woven fabric, not heading 5503 materials
