Import Tips
• Ensure the twine is made from strips of heading 54.05 and not coated or covered with plastics or rubber in a way visible to the naked eye, as that would shift classification
• Declare the material composition (HDPE) and end use (packaging) clearly on the commercial invoice
• Verify the MFN duty rate for 5609.00.00 before shipping, as rates may change
