Import Tips
• Verify the product is solely an artificial bait without hooks attached, as hooked versions may classify under fish hooks (9507.10)
• Provide detailed material composition (e.g
• plastic, metal) and fishing-specific use in documentation to avoid misclassification as toys
• Ensure packaging labels it for fishing use only to prevent reclassification under general plastic articles
