Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is over 50% vegetable fibers like jute via lab testing to confirm 5907 classification
• Include coating specifications in commercial invoice; ensure visible coating meets chapter 59 naked-eye test
• Avoid misclassification as chapter 39 by documenting textile as essential component, not mere reinforcement
