Import Tips & Compliance

Verify diameter measurement under 4.8 mm with calipers and include test reports in documentation to avoid reclassification

Ensure country-of-origin labeling complies with agricultural import rules; common pitfall is misstating polypropylene content

Obtain phytosanitary certificates if twine contacts crops to prevent quarantine issues
