Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the monofilament's cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm to qualify for this heading; thinner lines fall under Chapter 54
• Ensure the line is not cut into lengths or coiled for retail sale, as that may be further working
• Declare the PVC content and confirm it exceeds 95% by weight of the polymer
