Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis to prove nylon percentage; mismatches lead to penalties under polyamide provisions
• Declare exact weight per m² on entry docs; statistical notes scrutinize >170 g/m² for heavy category
• For industrial end-use, note on invoice to differentiate from retail; common error is retail packing misdeclaration
