Import Tips
• Verify knot construction and mesh size documentation to distinguish from salmon gill netting under 5608.19.1010
• Provide fishing end-use certification to avoid reclassification as general knotted netting
• Ensure twine composition labels confirm 100% man-made fibers like nylon or polyester
