Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the strip width and nonfibrillated structure meets HTS definitions; provide mill test reports confirming polyethylene/polypropylene composition

Ensure labeling indicates 'baler twine' use to avoid reclassification; common pitfall is insufficient documentation on strip dimensions

Check for visible impregnation/coating—if not visible to naked eye, may shift to yarn headings in Chapters 50-55
