Import Tips
• Verify filament tex and fabric weight via lab testing to confirm <136 tex and <250 g/m² for accurate HTS 7019.66.40 classification
• Provide mill certificates documenting uncolored status and mechanical bonding process to avoid reclassification as colored or chemically bonded
• Ensure documentation specifies width >30 cm and plain weave construction to prevent shifts to narrower fabric subheadings
