Import Tips

• Verify origin certificates to confirm Mexican agave istleana source, as similar fibers may fall under different subheadings

• Ensure bundles are free of contaminants like soil or pests to comply with USDA phytosanitary requirements for vegetable imports

• Declare exact moisture content and processing level (e.g

• cleaned but not twisted) to prevent reclassification as processed textile material
