Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify the net's material composition (e.g

• nylon vs. polyethylene) for accurate HTS classification and labeling requirements

• Include sports-specific documentation like court size compatibility to avoid misclassification as general mesh

• Check for anti-dumping duties on certain synthetic nets from Asia; obtain certificates of origin
