Import Tips
• Include official government certification for hand-loomed status to claim 5208 benefits; missing docs default to power-loomed
• Confirm non-power-driven loom origin; common pitfall is false certification leading to penalties
• Pair with fiber content labels; check Chapter 52 quantitative limits if from restricted countries
