Import Tips

• Verify the sacks are made from man-made fibers like polypropylene exceeding 85% composition to avoid reclassification under cotton or jute headings

• Include detailed packing specifications and end-use declarations to prevent customs holding for verification as non-FIBC types

• Ensure UV stabilization labeling if applicable, as it doesn't change classification but aids compliance
