Natural Coir Doormat from Japan

A heavy-duty rectangular doormat woven from coarse coir fibers to trap dirt and moisture at entrances. It qualifies for HTS 5705.00.10.00 as a coir-based textile floor covering, not a mat due to its size and construction. Non-slip backing is optional but common.

Import Tips

Measure precisely; if over mat size limits, argue for 5705 classification with photos and use descriptions

Declare as 'floor covering' on entry documents; avoid 'welcome mat' phrasing that suggests 5704

Test for colorfastness if dyed, as fading coir may raise quality concerns during inspection
