Import Tips
• Verify exact width measurement (130-250 cm) and unbleached status via lab testing to avoid reclassification to bleached categories
• Provide certificate of origin proving jute from heading 5303 sources; common pitfall is mislabeling as synthetic blends
• Ensure plain weave documentation matches statistical notes; declare selvage exclusions accurately
