Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is predominantly nylon or other polyamides via lab testing to confirm synthetic fiber classification
• Ensure packaging labels do not imply braided construction to avoid reclassification under 5607.50.20
• Obtain certificates of origin for preferential duty rates under USMCA or other FTAs
