Import Tips
• Verify coir content exceeds 50% by weight with lab tests or supplier certifications to confirm classification under 5705.00.10.00
• Provide detailed invoices specifying weave type (e.g
• hand-knotted) and dimensions to avoid misclassification as mats under 5704
• Check for restricted pesticide residues in coir, as natural fibers may trigger agricultural inspections
