Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the water hyacinth strips are dried and plaited, not treated with synthetic binders that could change classification
• Declare the product's renewable nature, but note that environmental claims do not affect tariff classification
• Verify the mat's water resistance is natural, not from a plastic coating, which could fall under Chapter 39
