Import Tips

• Include original government certification for hand-loomed status per US note; lack thereof may deny preference

• Document non-power-driven loom production; pitfall is classifying power-loomed as hand-loomed

• Test for cotton purity; blends over 15% other fibers reclassify out of 5208
