Acrylic Monofilament Fishing Line from China
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.

Import Tips
• 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
