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
