Import Tips
• Ensure certification specifies nonpower-driven loom and cottage industry to comply with U.S. note definition for 5208 certified hand-loomed fabrics
• Document weave as plain (per Chapter 52 note b) and verify no selvage issues; common pitfall is misdeclared twill weave
• Check for quantitative restrictions on cotton fabrics; present country-of-origin docs to access any applicable allocations
