Import Tips
• Verify fiber composition via lab testing to confirm polyamide content over 85% for proper classification
• Include supplier certificates specifying denier, length, and lack of processing to avoid misclassification as carded fibers
• Beware of blending with other synthetics; mixtures may shift to 5504 if processed
