Import Tips
• Verify width does not exceed 30 cm and confirm metallized yarn composition via lab tests to avoid reclassification
• Provide mill certificates proving 'metallized yarn' status (e.g
• metal-coated synthetic fibers) for duty preference claims
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as heading 5807; ensure no lace features for proper 5806 classification
