Import Tips
• Provide government certification if claiming hand-loomed under US note for 5208, though power-loomed typical here
• Document twill as '3/4-thread including cross' in invoices to preempt weave disputes
• Avoid bulk packaging misclassified as greige; ensure finished bleached state on entry
