Import Tips

Verify jute content exceeds 50% by weight with lab tests or supplier certifications to confirm classification under 5702.49.15.00

Provide detailed weave and construction documentation, as handwoven status affects duty rates and avoids misclassification as machine-made

Avoid common pitfalls like incomplete invoices specifying 'pile construction' and 'made up' status to prevent reclassification to unfinished goods
