Import Tips
• 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
