Import Tips
• Obtain government certification if claiming hand-loomed status under heading 5208/5209 notes for potential duty relief
• Conduct yarn count analysis using US Note formulas (N=BYT/1,000 etc.) to support average yarn number declaration
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing based on weight; heavier fabrics often incur higher specific duties
