Import Tips
• Document weave as plain (excluding selvage) per US Note (b); twill variations may shift classification
• Test weight after desizing/boiling per Chapter 52 formulas to ensure accurate g/m² measurement
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as 'certified hand-loomed' without government certification
