Import Tips

• Verify the netting is knotted and of man-made fibers like nylon to confirm HTS 5608.19 classification; provide lab tests if material composition is questioned

• Include detailed invoices specifying 'bait bag with drawstring' and end-use for fishing to prevent reclassification as general cordage

• Ensure drawstring closure is functional and documented, as incomplete nets may shift to heading 5608.19 other categories
