Import Tips & Compliance

Include bale size compatibility specs in invoices; US Customs often requires proof it's optimized for baler machines

Test for UV resistance claims—mislabeling leads to penalties; retain supplier certifications for poly material content

Avoid bulk packaging confusion; declare as 'wide strip baler twine' explicitly to prevent mix-up with rope headings
