Import Tips

• Obtain and present the official government certification from the exporting country proving hand-loom production by cottage industry to avoid reclassification

• Provide lab test reports confirming >=85% cotton content, yarn color differences, plain weave, and weight <=100 g/m² to meet exact subheading requirements

• Beware of power-loom imitations; lack of certification leads to higher duties under 5208.41.40.00 or denial of quota benefits
