Import Tips

• Verify filament tex measurement (≤136 tex per single yarn) and exact weight (<250 g/m²) via lab testing to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to higher-duty subheadings

• Provide mill certificates confirming uncolored status and mechanical bonding (weaving only, no resins) along with commercial invoices for CBP review

• Ensure fabric width >30 cm is documented; common pitfall is misdeclaring as narrower tape, leading to audits and penalties
