Import Tips
• Declare in linear meters or weight units; provide g/m² certification to stay under 200 g/m² threshold
• Include end-use statement if for non-food applications to avoid FDA scrutiny on food-grade status
• Check for certified hand-loomed status per US notes, which could shift to 5209 if applicable
