Import Tips

• Specify filament type (nylon/polyamide) and hydroentangled process to avoid confusion with woven fabrics

• Test for any plastic bonding substance; if predominant, it may reclassify under 5603 plastics-bonded note

• Label shipments clearly as unfinished fabric to prevent end-use duties for converted wipes
