Import Tips
• Obtain government certification if claiming certified hand-loomed status under US note for potential duty relief, but most 313 sheeting is power-loomed
• Measure fabric breadth and weight per linear meter accurately for customs; pitfall is incorrect gram per m² due to residual sizing
• Declare exact construction (e.g
• 'Number 40 yarn') to prevent shifts to 5208.22.4050 for higher yarn numbers
