• Submit fiber content certificates specifying jute weight percentage > any other single textile fiber
• Include engineering drawings showing synchronous tooth profile and exact circumference measurement
• Watch for CBP challenges on 'predominate by weight'; retain mill test reports as common audit pitfall
