Import Tips

• Obtain and present the official government certification from the exporting country verifying hand-loom production to avoid reclassification as power-loomed

• Ensure accurate weight documentation (≤100 g/m²) and fiber content lab tests showing ≥85% cotton to meet subheading criteria

• Beware of quota restrictions on cotton textiles; verify country-specific allocations for hand-loomed fabrics to prevent entry denial
