Unbleached Jute Burlap Fabric 150cm Wide

This unbleached woven jute fabric measures 150 cm in width, ideal for heavy-duty packaging and upholstery backing. It falls under HTS 5310.10.00.40 as it's made from jute (a bast fiber of heading 5303), remains unbleached, and fits the specified width range over 130 cm but not over 250 cm. The plain weave construction meets chapter 53 requirements for unprocessed bast fiber textiles.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify exact width measurement (130-250 cm) and unbleached status via lab testing to avoid reclassification to bleached categories

β€’ Provide certificate of origin proving jute from heading 5303 sources; common pitfall is mislabeling as synthetic blends

β€’ Ensure plain weave documentation matches statistical notes; declare selvage exclusions accurately
