Import Tips
• Provide photos and production process descriptions to customs proving tape-lace is hand-joined, not machine-woven
• Label accurately as 'handmade cotton lace' to meet country-of-origin rules for artisanal goods
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial netting, which could lead to misclassification
