Import Tips
• Measure fabric weight per m² precisely and retain production records showing handloom certification if applicable under US notes
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring yarn count; use boiling to remove sizing before testing as per Chapter 52 US Note (a)
• For curtain use, ensure no plastic coatings that could reclassify as man-made textile composites
