Import Tips
• Use AATCC test methods for weight and fiber content; retain lab reports for 5 years per CBP recordkeeping
• Specify 'not certified hand-loomed' in invoices if machine-woven to avoid quota issues
• Watch for misdeclaration as lighter drapery fabric; accurate g/m² is key to avoid penalties
