Import Tips
• Supply sustainability certs and fiber breakdowns to support 'other textile' claim against synthetic blends
• Document hand-knotting via artisan affidavits to differentiate from machine-made under 5702
• Check for anti-slip treatments; if they alter exposed surface, may shift to Chapter 59
