Import Tips
• Include official government certification of hand-loom origin as per U.S
• Note for 5208 to claim this classification
• Document cottage industry production to differentiate from power-loomed fabrics, avoiding higher-duty alternatives
• Test for exact weight post-sizing removal and yarn number to stay within >100 g/m² and ≤42 parameters
