Import Tips
• Verify fiber origin with certificates of origin to confirm jute classification and avoid mislabeling as flax or hemp
• Ensure bundles are free from excessive moisture or contamination to meet agricultural import standards
• Declare exact retting process (water-retted or dew-retted) in documentation to prevent reclassification as processed
