Import Tips
• Verify filament content exceeds 85% nylon/polyamides via lab testing; blended fabrics may shift classification
• Provide dyeing/printing process documentation to confirm 'printed' status under chapter notes
• Avoid misclassification as unprinted (5407.43); ensure weight certificates show ≤170 g/m²
