Import Tips & Compliance

• Conduct fiber content analysis to confirm 100% jute bast fibers; pitfalls include contamination with hemp leading to disputes

• Measure width excluding selvage as per statistical note (a); retain mill certificates for customs

• Avoid common error of declaring as 'bleached' if only lightly processed—strict unbleached definition applies
