Import Tips
• Specify mesh size (e.g
• 1-2 cm) in commercial invoices to differentiate from larger fishing nets
• Ensure drawstring is integral and textile-based, not plastic, to avoid Chapter 39 reclassification
• Bundle with trap documentation if imported together to prevent separate duty assessments
