Import Tips
• Obtain third-party verification of hand-weaving to support 'not power-driven loom' claim during customs audits
• Include detailed invoices specifying pile construction and man-made fiber breakdown to prevent reclassification
• Watch for set sales; if bundled with underlay, it may shift to parts classification or require separate entry
