Import Tips
• Ensure the twine is not impregnated, coated, or covered with plastics or rubber, as that would change classification
• Declare the fibre content accurately as abaca (Manila hemp) to avoid delays
• Keep commercial invoices showing the twine's circumference to confirm it does not exceed 25.4 mm
