Import Tips
• Document draw ratio specifications and fiber denier range to confirm classification as textile drawing vs. general polymer processing
• Ensure safety certifications for high-temperature draw rolls meet importing country standards
• Beware of misclassification as godet roll systems under 8445 if winding function predominates
