Import Tips

• Submit detailed weave pattern and RFL treatment analysis reports; customs often requires proof of adhesion performance for tire cord verification

• Declare intended use in tire manufacturing on entry docs to differentiate from general fabrics and qualify for correct statistical suffix (622)

• Avoid misdeclaration of origin—many producers in Asia face ADD/CVD; maintain supply chain records to contest if applicable
