Import Tips
• Verify monofilament diameter and decitex via lab testing to confirm 67+ decitex and <1mm cross-section for this HTS
• Provide manufacturer specs and tensile strength data in entry documentation to support fishing line use
• Avoid misclassification as finer line under 5404.19.10; check for packaging indicating retail vs bulk
