Import Tips

• Include tensile strength and twist certifications to prove monofilament status vs. braided cord

• Declare as individual spools, not machinery parts, to stay in Chapter 54; avoid bulk packaging pitfalls

• Test for cross-sectional dimension compliance to prevent shift to plastic profiles under 3916
