Import Tips
• Conduct pre-shipment audits to confirm electrical nonconductivity (per ASTM standards) avoiding disputes at entry
• Pair with HTS rulings on similar tire cords for binding classification; common error is undervaluing RFL treatment impact
• Maintain records of tire manufacturer end-use contracts to defend against general fabric classification challenges
