Import Tips
• Provide certificates of hand-weaving origin and independent valuation reports confirming value exceeds $215 per square meter to avoid reclassification
• Ensure declaration specifies 'fit only for wall hangings' with photos or design details; multifunctional items risk shifting to Chapter 63
• Comply with textile fiber content labeling under FTC rules and verify no machine-woven elements to prevent duty disputes
