Certified Hand-Loomed Cotton Check Bedspread Fabric from Japan
This is a heavy-weight, plain weave cotton fabric containing over 85% cotton, weighing more than 200 g/m², made on a nonpower-driven hand loom by cottage industry artisans and certified by government authorities prior to export. The yarns are of different colors, creating a classic check pattern suitable for bedspreads and upholstery. It falls under HTS 5209.41.30.00 due to its certified hand-loomed status, high cotton content, weight, and plain weave construction.

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
