Import Tips

• Document proof of prior use (e.g

• farm receipts) to distinguish from new twine under 5608

• Ship in unsorted bulk to avoid 6309 reclassification; test for pesticide residues common in ag twine

• Label fiber content accurately; blends over 50% jute stay here, but synthetics may shift to 6310.90.40
