Product description
The submitted samples are identified as CoverEdge Netwrap. The net wrap is an open-work fabric, warp knit from strip of approximately 1 millimeter in width, in a variety of colors.

According to the literature provided, this net wrap weighs between 9 and 20 grams per square meter, and will be imported in rolls 168.5cm in width.

However, classification under this subheading is precluded because, pursuant to Note 1 of Chapter 54, strip and the like of heading 5404 or 5405 are not considered to be man-made fibers.
