Import Tips
• Provide government certification if claiming hand-loomed under US note for 5209, but standard power-loomed is default
• Test for excessive sizing removal per US Note (a) before weight/yarn number calculations
• Label rolls clearly with HTS and weight to prevent bulk vs retail packing disputes
