Import Tips
• Obtain government certification if claiming hand-loomed status to potentially shift to lower-duty 5208 codes
• Test for excessive sizing and report desized weight to accurately meet >200 g/m² duck criteria
• Avoid common pitfalls by specifying 'duck (219)' on entries to distinguish from generic plain weave cottons
