Import Tips
• Declare exact wool content percentage as blends may alter duty rates or require fiber content labels
• Avoid common pitfall of calling it 'hand-knotted' instead of 'hand-hooked'—use precise terminology matching HTS description
• Retain production records proving hand tool usage to counter potential reclassification to lower-duty machine categories
