Import Tips
• Verify coir fiber content exceeds 50% and confirm woven pile construction via lab testing to avoid reclassification
• Provide certificates of origin for handwoven rugs to qualify for potential duty reductions under trade agreements
• Label products clearly as 'coir pile rugs' and avoid underlay attachments, as they are excluded from this chapter
