Import Tips
• Classify jute as textile per Chapter Notes; provide weave analysis if questioned on material dominance
• Inspect for any rubber foxing overlap—must be absent or minimal to stay in 6404.19.39
• Bulk imports require detailed invoices specifying pair count and value per pair to prevent undervaluation claims
