Import Tips
• Obtain government certification if claiming 'certified hand-loomed' status under 5208 US note for potential duty relief
• Conduct yarn number average calculation per US note (a) formulas if border scrutiny questions fabric metrics
• Avoid bulk packaging misinterpretation; declare as fabric rolls, not apparel components
