Important Considerations & Recommendations:

- Manufacturing Process: If the twine has undergone significant processing (e.g., coating, impregnation), this might influence the classification.
- Material Certification: Be prepared to provide documentation (e.g., a material certificate) to support your classification.
- Single Declaration: Ensure the declared material composition aligns with the actual product.
- Post 2025.4.2 Tariff Changes: Be aware of the upcoming tariff changes on April 2, 2025.
- Check with Customs: When in doubt, it's always best to consult directly with your local customs authority for a binding classification ruling.
