Import Tips & Compliance

Verify monofilament diameter meets 67+ decitex and <1mm cross-section via lab testing to avoid reclassification

Provide manufacturer specs and end-use declaration; fishing line often scrutinized for textile vs plastics overlap

Ensure no bundling into multifilament to prevent shift to HTS 5402; common pitfall in bulk spools
