Import Tips & Compliance

Include technical specs proving full obscuration and man-made fiber content; customs may require cross-sections for verification

Declare as 'recreational' not 'professional' to stay in 6210.40; commercial fishing gear risks reclassification

Watch for anti-dumping duties on PVC-coated products from certain origins like China; check current CVD/AD status
