Import Tips
• Verify bast fiber origin with supplier certificates; jute must trace to heading 5303 raw fibers
• Ensure yarn is truly single-ply (not folded/cabled) via lab testing to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact linear density and twist direction; common pitfall is mislabeling as plied yarn
