Import Tips
• Document pile height and weave type to distinguish from flocked or tufted; importers often face audits on construction method
• Include country-of-origin affidavits for hand-woven claims if applicable, as 'Kelem' styles qualify here
• Avoid bundling with underlays, as Chapter 57 excludes floor covering underlays explicitly
