Import Tips
• Obtain provenance documentation proving Afghan origin and handloom production to support 'Schumacks' classification
• Test for compliance with flammability standards (FF 1-70) if marketed for residential use; non-compliance risks seizure
• Avoid bundling with underlays, as Chapter 57 excludes floor covering underlays which classify separately
