Import Tips
• Document 'of different colors' via weave analysis, as single-color shifts to 5210.42; include photos or samples in entry
• Confirm non-power loom production if claiming certified hand-loomed status for potential duty relief under Chapter 52 notes
• Watch for selvage exclusion in weave verification per US Note (b); pure twill elsewhere may reclassify
