5608.11.00.10 - Hand-cast string-drawn

This HTS category, 5608.11.00.10, specifically classifies made-up fishing nets that are characterized by a "hand-cast string-drawn" construction. This designation indicates nets formed by drawing or pulling strands of twine, cordage, or rope to create the netting structure, implying a particular method of manufacture where the netting is not knotted in the traditional sense but rather formed by interweaving or drawing fibers. These nets are intended for fishing purposes.

The primary distinction of this subcategory from its sibling, 5608.11.00.90 (Other), lies in the manufacturing technique. While both fall under made-up fishing nets of man-made textile materials, this specific code targets those produced through a hand-cast string-drawing process. Other made-up fishing nets, therefore, would encompass those produced by different methods, such as knotting or weaving, or those made from other materials not specifically identified here.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification concludes at this level, with the defining characteristic being the "hand-cast string-drawn" method of net construction for fishing applications made from man-made textile materials. This level of specificity is crucial for accurate import and export declaration, ensuring that the precise nature of the fishing net's construction is reflected in its tariff treatment.
