Import Tips
• 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
