Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is 100% jute via lab tests to confirm bast fiber classification and avoid misclassification as synthetic
• Provide mill certificates showing unbleached status; bleaching would shift to 5310.20.00
• Check weight per square meter to ensure it doesn't qualify for exclusions in related notes, preventing duty disputes
