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
