Last updated: August 2026 dataFinished fishing nets constructed from manmade textile materials—nylon, polyester, polyethylene, and similar synthetics—are the primary product of this heading, used commercially in aquaculture, deep-sea trawling, and artisanal fisheries. The US schedule distinguishes hand-cast, string-drawn nets (5608110010) from other made-up fishing nets (5608110090), a construction-method split that reflects the different labor inputs and end-use profiles of these products. Malaysia leads US imports under this heading, with Peru and China also significant sources. Classification turns on the 'made-up' criterion—nets must be finished and ready for use, not merely netting fabric sold by the meter.

A made-up fishing net is a finished article cut to shape, assembled, and ready for deployment—typically with floats, weights, lead lines, or other rigging attached, or at minimum cut and finished to a specific configuration. Netting fabric sold in continuous lengths or rolls without further making-up would generally fall under Chapter 60 (knitted or crocheted fabrics) or remain in Chapter 56 as knotted netting, not as a made-up article.
5608110010 is reserved for hand-cast, string-drawn nets—a traditional construction method where the net is cast by hand and drawn closed by a string, typical of cast nets used in artisanal and recreational fishing. All other made-up fishing nets of manmade materials, including machine-knotted trawl nets and seine nets, fall into 5608110090. Importers should obtain manufacturing process documentation from the supplier to support the correct line selection.
