Import Tips
• Label as 'hand-hooked' with photos of the knotting process in shipping docs to substantiate manual tufting
• Ensure no rubber backing, as that could classify as a composite good outside Chapter 57
• Declare exact fiber percentages to customs, as blends approaching wool thresholds trigger different headings
