Import Tips
• Include origin certificates for jute to prove non-cotton/wool composition and comply with textile quota rules if applicable
• Label as 'knotted' with knot density specs (e.g
• 100 knots/inch) to distinguish from tufted products under 5703
• Inspect for completeness; unfinished knotted pieces may classify as parts under 5705
