Import Tips

• Obtain government certification if claiming 'hand-loomed' status for potential duty relief under heading 5208

• Calculate average yarn number per US note formulas (e.g

• N=BYT/1,000) for any disputes on fabric metrics

• Avoid common pitfall of unwashed imports; declare post-boiling weight to match tariff specs accurately
