Import Tips

• Verify handwoven origin with certificates from artisans or suppliers to confirm no power-driven loom use, as required for this subheading

• Label fiber content accurately as 100% cotton and provide weave structure details to avoid reclassification to power-loomed items

• Check for prohibited dyes or chemicals under textile import regulations to prevent holds at customs
