Import Tips
• Verify fiber origin certification to confirm 100% coir content and avoid reclassification as synthetic blends
• Provide lab test reports on tensile strength if used for commercial agriculture to meet import documentation
• Check for proper labeling as 'coir yarn' to prevent customs disputes on vegetable fiber classification
