Import Tips
• Include official government certification proving hand-loom production to qualify under 5208 provisions
• Measure yarn number post-sizing removal using approved HTS formulas to confirm 43-68 range
• Declare as 'certified hand-loomed' on entry documents; failure risks reclassification to power-loomed 5208.21
