Import Tips
• Confirm 'certified hand-loomed' status via government seal/stamp; non-certified versions classify under 5208.51.40
• Calculate average yarn number using U.S. note formulas if challenged on cotton purity or fabric specs
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring print method—ensure documentation matches block printing process
