Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'fishing bait bags' with mesh size specs to distinguish from general netting under 5608.19.10
• Obtain certificates of origin for man-made fiber content to qualify for preferential duty rates if applicable
• Avoid common pitfalls like insufficient closure documentation, which could lead to valuation disputes
