Import Tips & Compliance
• Use independent lab reports for fiber content to support declarations, as CBP frequently tests high-value rugs
• Document hand-knotting with artisan affidavits or photos of the weaving process for authenticity
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; appraise based on knot density (e.g
• 120+ knots per sq inch) for accurate duties
