Import Tips
• Source certificates proving sisal origin, as vegetable fibers have specific quota considerations
• Document hand-tool photos; sisal's coarseness makes machine imitation unlikely but still verify
• Recommend mold-resistant treatments declared separately to avoid chemical classification shifts
