Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 85% via lab tests to confirm classification under 'of cotton' subheading
• Provide invoices specifying 'not made up' status and handwoven origin to avoid reclassification as finished goods
• Label with country of origin and care instructions; watch for anti-dumping duties on certain cotton rugs
