Import Tips

• Verify filament diameter (9-11 microns) and RFL impregnation via lab testing to confirm classification under 7019.13.24.00

• Provide supplier certifications for electrical nonconductivity and treatment composition to avoid misclassification as untreated yarn

• Ensure documentation specifies 'colored' status and rubber reinforcing purpose to prevent shifts to non-colored subheadings
