Import Tips
• Verify the predominant use of vegetable fibers like jute or hemp via lab testing to confirm classification under 5909.00.10.00 and avoid reclassification to Chapter 39
• Provide detailed invoices specifying fiber content, construction method (woven), and intended use to prevent customs holds
• Check for any rubber or plastic linings, as heavy coatings may shift classification to heading 5906 if rubberized
