Import Tips

• Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm jute predominance and exclude cotton, as cotton variants fall under 5801.81

• Provide weave structure documentation to customs, proving pile formation via uncut floats per Chapter 58 notes

• Avoid misdeclaration as apparel fabric; specify end-use as upholstery to prevent reclassification
