Import Tips
• Measure fabric breadth and weight accurately post-scouring to calculate 'number' per US note (a)
• Label as 'certified hand-loomed' if applicable for potential duty relief under 5208 provisions
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring weave; provide weave diagrams to distinguish from plain weave subheadings
