Import Tips
• Conduct fiber burn tests for customs audits to distinguish pure cotton burlap from jute blends qualifying for this code
• Avoid selling as 'sack' which risks Chapter 63 downgrade; emphasize handbag features in marketing and docs
• Declare exact weave type; tufted burlap shifts to 4202.22.15, impacting duty
