Import Tips
• Verify jute content exceeds 50% via lab testing to confirm classification under 5702.39.10.00 and avoid reclassification
• Provide weave structure documentation proving pile construction and non-tufted production for customs validation
• Declare as 'not made up' if sold unfolded without binding; bound edges may shift to made-up subheadings
