Import Tips
• Document weave as plain (not satin/jacquard) since 5208 covers basic weaves per US note (b); photos help CBP verification
• Measure fabric weight post-scouring to confirm <200 g/m²; excess sizing can lead to overweight misclassification
• For certified hand-loomed, obtain government certificate pre-export to potentially qualify under 5209 if applicable
