Import Tips & Compliance
• Include assembly diagrams proving 'made up' status and string-drawn features to comply with heading specificity
• Avoid common pitfalls by declaring exact man-made fiber type (e.g
• PE, nylon) and ensuring no natural fiber blends exceed trace amounts
• Obtain prior FDA or NOAA approvals if targeting US fisheries, as undocumented nets may face seizure
