Import Tips
• Verify knot construction and mesh size to avoid misclassification as fishing nets under 5608.19.10
• Provide documentation on yarn composition (e.g
• nylon decitex) and end-use to confirm non-fishing application
• Check for strength certifications as cargo nets often require load-bearing compliance
