56.08 ‑ Knotted netting of twine, cordage or rope; made up fishing nets and other made up nets, of textile materials.
(1) Knotted netting of twine, cordage or rope. These products are simply lengths of netting, i.e., open mesh knotted fabric made either by hand or by machine. They differ from the net fabrics of heading 58.04 in that they are made of the twine, cordage or rope of heading 56.07. (2) Made up fishing nets and other made up nets, of textile materials. As distinct from the products referred to in paragraph (1) above, made up articles of this group may be made of yarn and the open mesh may be obtained by knotting or otherwise. Made up nets are nets, whether or not ready for use, made directly to shape or assembled from pieces of netting. The presence of handles, rings, weights, floats, cords or other accessories does not affect the classification of the goods of this group. Made up nets of this heading are restricted to those nets not covered more specifically by other headings of the Nomenclature. The heading includes fishing nets, camouflage nets, theatrical scenery nets, safety nets, net shopping bags and similar carrying nets (e.g., for tennis balls or footballs), hammocks, balloon or air‑ship nets, nets for protection against insects, etc. The products of this heading remain here even if impregnated (e.g., to preserve them against the weather, water). The heading does not cover :(a) Netting in the piece produced by knitting or crochet work (headings 60.02 to 60.06). (b) Hair nets (heading 65.05). (c) Sports nets (e.g., goal nets and tennis nets), fish landing nets and other nets of Chapter 95.
