Import Tips
• Obtain and present the official government certification from the exporting country verifying hand-loom production by cottage industry to avoid reclassification
• Ensure accurate weight documentation (post-sizing removal) and fiber content lab tests to confirm >85% cotton and >200 g/m²
• Declare as 'certified hand-loomed' explicitly; common pitfall is missing certification leading to higher duties under non-certified subheadings
