Import Tips
• Verify filament diameter and length certification to confirm ≤50mm classification under 7019.11; exceeding triggers 7019.12
• Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) detailing silica content ≥60% for compliance with Chapter 70 glass wool definitions
• Avoid misdeclaration as textile yarns; declare as glass fibers to prevent reclassification to Chapter 54/55
