Acrylic Monofilament Fishing Line

A thick monofilament line made from acrylic polymers with a cross-sectional diameter exceeding 1 mm, used in heavy-duty fishing applications. It falls under HTS 3916.90.1000 as monofilament of acrylic polymers, not further worked beyond surface treatment. Acrylic provides strength and abrasion resistance suitable for commercial fishing.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3916Same rate: 41.5%

If cross-sectional dimension 1 mm or less

Finer monofilaments under 1 mm diameter shift to specific subheading for synthetic monofilament regardless of polymer.

3920.99Lower: 15.8% vs 41.5%

If further machined or shaped into specific profiles

Profile shapes that are otherwise worked beyond surface-working fall into other plates and sheets category.

5607.50Lower: 13.6% vs 41.5%

If twisted or plied into rope or cordage

When processed into twine or cordage, it moves from Chapter 39 plastics to Chapter 56 made-up textiles.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify polymer composition meets 95% acrylic monomer requirement per subheading notes to avoid reclassification

Provide lab test reports confirming cross-section exceeds 1 mm and no further processing beyond surface-working

Check for special programs like GSP; common pitfall is mislabeling as finer filament under 3916.40
