Import Tips
• Label as 'certified hand-loomed' only with official docs; otherwise, it may shift to non-certified subheadings with different rates
• Measure weight post-sizing removal via boiling to accurately confirm under 200 g/m² threshold
• Beware of quantitative restrictions on raw cotton imports; ensure fabric is fully processed to avoid 5201 quotas
