Import Tips
• Declare exact weave type (sateen) on entry docs; mismatches lead to audits under US notes on weave specificity
• Use certified hand-loomed declaration if applicable under 5208/5209 notes for potential duty relief
• Check staple length of cotton origin against US quantitative limits in 5201 notes to prevent entry denial
