Import Tips & Compliance
• Document weave type and fiber sourcing (e.g
• sisal from agave plants) to distinguish from synthetic fibers in Chapter 54-55
• Avoid bulk packaging that resembles fabric rolls, which could be misclassified under Chapters 50-55
• Test weight and flexibility to ensure it doesn't meet criteria for Chapter 39 rigid plastics
