Import Tips

Label products clearly as 'articles of cordage' and provide HTS 5405 origin proof for base material

Avoid bundling with metal clips, as assembled sets may reclassify under 5609.00.20 or hardware headings

Conduct fiber content testing if blends exceed pure strip composition to confirm 5609 applicability
