Import Tips
• Obtain artisan certificates proving hand-weaving to prevent misclassification as power-loomed
• Declare exact wool pile and warp composition; blends under 100% wool may require different stats
• Avoid common pitfall of omitting country-of-origin rugs; Turkish rugs need specific provenance docs
