Import Tips
• Label origin and construction method clearly; 'hand-woven' claims require proof to prevent undervaluation disputes
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain Asian-origin man-made rugs; check Commerce scope rulings
• Provide size and weight specs in entry docs, as oversized rugs may trigger formal entry requirements
