Import Tips
• Retain production records showing handloom status if claiming certified hand-loomed exception (though not applicable here)
• Test for excessive sizing per US note and adjust weight calculations accordingly for accurate g/m²
• Separate shipments by width precisely; mixing ≤220 cm and >220 cm risks entire entry reclassification
