Import Tips
• Provide origin certificates proving handwoven by artisans to qualify under specific 'Schumacks' subheading
• Measure exact dimensions; runners over 12ft may face length-based duties or reclassification
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring weave type—lab tests can confirm cotton purity and woven structure
