Import Tips

• 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
