Import Tips
• Ensure certification for breaking strength (e.g
• ASTM standards) to meet construction import regs
• Document end-use as industrial to avoid retail packaging scrutiny under consumer product rules
• Beware of diameter specs; very thin cords might be reclassified as twine for handicrafts
