Import Tips

• Use boiling to remove sizing before weight/yarn measurements as per US notes to prevent overweight classification

• Provide certificates for hand-loomed if applicable under 5208/5209 note, potentially lowering duties

• Avoid common pitfall of misstating weave; must be wholly plain weave excluding selvage
