Thick nylon monofilament used as fishing line, with a diameter exceeding 1 mm, ideal for heavy-duty angling. It falls under HTS 3916.90.3000 because it is a monofilament of polyamide plastics (other plastics) where any cross-sectional dimension exceeds 1 mm and is not further worked beyond surface treatments. This classification applies to unprocessed forms before braiding or weaving.
