What to watch

Baled cotton, natural rubber and other plant fibres ship in dry containers and are mainly a moisture and contamination risk. Quality grading and phytosanitary documents are usual.

Cotton is flammable; fire risk is addressed through packing and stowage rules.

Natural rubber is vulnerable to heat and contamination; clean, dry containers are required.

Origin-based restrictions (for example forced-labour import rules) can apply to cotton in some markets.
