Import Tips
• Verify fabric weight exceeds 170 g/m² via lab testing to avoid reclassification to lighter subheadings
• Provide mill test certificates confirming ≥85% nylon/polyamide filament content and dyed processing
• Ensure no napping or special finishes that might shift to other 5407 subheadings; declare exact weave type
