Import Tips
• Document production process to affirm 'handwoven' like Kelem/Schumacks, influencing valuation and preferences
• Avoid packaging that suggests 'made up' (e.g
• hemmed edges) to stay in not-made-up category
• Comply with flammability standards for floor coverings via certificates, common pitfall for textile imports
