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
