Import Tips & Compliance
• Include botanical certification proving henequen (Agave fourcroydes) origin to distinguish from synthetic analogs
• Declare exact twist construction and length per spool to prevent reclassification as rope
• Check for invisible impregnations; visible rubber/plastics coating excludes from this heading per Chapter 56 notes
