Import Tips
• Certify abaca as vegetable fiber via origin docs; measure upper surface area excluding reinforcements per chapter note 4(a)
• CBP may examine for hidden foxing—ensure clean adhesive seams; track production costs for value declaration
• Bundle in retail packs only if not affecting set classification; bulk import risks different handling
