Import Tips
• Include commercial invoice specifying exact g/m² weight and print process to meet 'printed' subheading criteria
• Label as 'mixed with wool' with percentage breakdown; mislabeling risks duty adjustment or seizure
• Check for hand-loomed certification if applicable, as it affects eligibility under 5208/5209 notes but not this code
