Import Tips

Obtain official certification from authorized bodies proving hand-loomed and folklore origin to claim the 648 special provision

Include detailed documentation of synthetic fiber content (e.g

polyester percentage) and cultural provenance to avoid reclassification

Verify no machine-loomed elements, as this disqualifies from the folklore subcategory; common pitfall is mixed production methods
