Import Tips

• Verify yarn composition via lab testing to confirm >=85% nylon/polyamide filaments, as blends under 85% shift to 5407.52 or 5407.61

• Provide weave diagrams and color yarn specs in entry docs to avoid misclassification as single-color (5407.42)

• Watch for chapter note exclusions; ensure not made from heading 5404 high-tenacity yarns to prevent reclassification
