Import Tips
• Provide certification or affidavits proving handwoven on non-power-driven loom to qualify for this subheading
• Ensure accurate wool content disclosure; blends over 20% other fibers may shift to different codes
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as power-loomed, which incurs higher duties under 5702.50.40
