Import Tips

Obtain and present the official government certification from the exporting country confirming hand-loom production by cottage industry to avoid reclassification

Verify fiber content exceeds 85% cotton via lab testing and ensure accurate weight documentation to meet Chapter 52 criteria

Avoid common pitfalls like missing certification, which leads to duty increases under non-certified subheadings; declare as 'certified hand-loomed' explicitly
