Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain official certification from the exporting country's authority proving hand-loomed and folklore status to qualify for the 340 duty rate
• Provide detailed documentation including loom type, artisan details, and cultural origin to avoid reclassification to standard cotton shirts
• Ensure fiber content is 100% cotton with proper labeling; common pitfall is missing folklore certification leading to higher duties
