Import Tips

Verify and retain the official government certification from the exporting country proving hand-loom production by cottage industry to avoid reclassification

Check quantitative restrictions on cotton fabrics and ensure proper documentation for country-specific allocations under Chapter 52 U.S. notes

Label fabrics accurately with fiber content (85%+ cotton), weight, and weave type to prevent customs disputes on plain weave verification
