Import Tips

• Submit cross-sectional measurements and decitex certification; trimmers often misclassified as Chapter 39

• Label as textile monofilament, not plastic rod, to comply with Chapter 54 notes excluding Chapter 55 tow

• Avoid retail packaging that suggests finished tool parts, which could trigger parts classification under 8479
