Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the net's construction meets 'hand-cast string-drawn' criteria with documentation like manufacturer specs showing knotted man-made twine and mesh size
• Provide fishing end-use certification to avoid reclassification as general netting; include photos or samples if requested by customs
• Check for polyamide/nylon content limits if statistical reporting applies, and label weight accurately to prevent undervaluation penalties
