    The document outlines grading standards for different grades of Tossa jute according to the BIS Standard IS: 271-2003. It defines 7 grades (TD1 to TD7) based on their strength, defects, root content, fineness, density, and total score. The highest grade is TD1 which requires very good strength and quality with less than 5% root content and defects. The lowest is TD7 which allows up to 35% root content and over 50% of fibers can contain major defects. A grade 6 (TD6) is also included for fibers that are entangled and unsuitable for other grades but have commercial value. Accompanying notes provide additional requirements and testing methods.

    Natural dust may be allowed in grades TD3 to TD8 with proportionate discount.
    Root content will include hard barky croppy ends.
    A parcel of jute which would not secure full marks for a particular grade shall still be considered for that
    grade with suitable discount to be settled between the buyer and seller, provided its score is not less, by 50
    (or more) percent of the difference, between the maximum scores for that and the next lower grade. When
