Import Tips & Compliance

• Ensure the netting is classified as made-up (cut to size or assembled) to qualify for this item

• Have documentation showing the net is for agricultural bird protection, not fishing, to avoid misclassification

• Verify the netting is of man-made fibres and not coated with plastics or rubber, which would shift classification
