Import Tips
• Label with precise fiber origin (sisal) and weight to comply with statistical note (a) on weave exclusivity
• Avoid common error of classifying as ramie (which has its own provisions) without fiber testing
• For upholstery end-use, note any flame-retardant treatments that could reclassify under Chapter 59
