Import Tips

• Document weave type (satin/twill) via weave diagrams or photos; CBP may inspect to distinguish from plain weave

• Avoid common error of undervaluing based on unbleached state—appraisement includes production costs

• If certified hand-loomed, note eligibility under 5209 definitions but still verify government certification
