Hessian Jute Tow from Germany
Hessian jute tow comprises short fiber remnants and waste generated during the processing of jute for hessian (burlap) fabric. These fibers are cleaned but remain unspun, making them suitable for stuffing or low-grade yarn production. This product is explicitly covered by the tariff item's inclusion of tow and waste of jute bast fibers.

Import Tips
• Document that the tow is a by-product of hessian processing and has not been spun
• Ensure the material is free of contaminants like oil or synthetic fibers
• Check if the tow meets the definition of 'waste' under Canadian customs rules to avoid reclassification
