Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'abaca' or 'Manila hemp' to match HTS description and avoid misclassification as sisal
• Include supplier affidavits on fiber sourcing, as hard leaf fibers require proof against substitution with softer types
• Check for tensile strength declarations to prevent reclassification as lower-duty yarn
