Import Tips
• Specify end-use in commercial invoice as 'for yarn production' to support textile classification
• Check denier uniformity (typically 2-15 denier/filament) to confirm tow specs versus monofilament
• Package in bales with moisture content declaration to prevent claims during customs inspection
