Import Tips
• Provide technical data sheet showing yarn cross-section, decitex, mesh measurement protocol, and knot photos for CBP review
• Check state-specific salmon gear regulations; some ports require import permits beyond tariff clearance
• Separate from packaging materials; bulk rolls classified differently than retail-packed nets
