Import Tips
• Include origin certificates proving handwoven status to qualify for potential preferences under cotton-specific provisions
• Label clearly as 'not made up' with dimensions in linear meters to avoid upcharge as finished goods
• Test for colorfastness and ensure no flocking, as misidentification could lead to 5702.51 classification
