Import Tips
• Conduct pre-shipment filament diameter measurement to document compliance with 9-11 micron range
• Maintain traceability records linking fabric to specific tire manufacturing standards (e.g
• ECE R30)
• Avoid generic 'fiberglass fabric' descriptions; specify 'tire cord.
• RFL treatment' on all documents
