Import Tips
• Verify dye process documentation to confirm uniform dyeing post-weaving, as uneven dyeing could trigger reclassification
• Include certification copy in entry docs; U.S
• Customs often audits hand-loomed claims for quantitative restrictions
• Measure fabric weight per US note formulas after desizing to avoid disputes over >200 g/m² threshold
