Import Tips

• Obtain and retain the official government certification from the exporting country verifying hand-loom production to avoid reclassification

• Ensure accurate measurement of fabric weight (post-sizing removal) and fiber content via lab testing to confirm >200 g/m² and >85% cotton

• Declare as 'certified hand-loomed' explicitly; common pitfall is missing certification leading to higher duties under non-certified subheadings
