Import Tips
• Ensure the cord is not coated or covered with plastics or rubber in a visible manner, as that would reclassify it to Chapter 39 or 40
• Provide the breaking strength and diameter specifications on the invoice
• Verify if the cord is considered 'twine, cordage, rope or cables' under Section XI Note 3, which may affect classification
