Import Tips
• Verify jute content exceeds 50% for accurate classification; provide lab test reports if blended with synthetics
• Ensure 'made up' status with finished edges or binding to avoid parts classification under 5702.90
• Label as floor covering to comply with chapter notes excluding underlays; watch for customs reclassification to Chapter 53 if seen as matting
