Import Tips
• Include artisan certificates and production photos showing hand-looming process to substantiate folklore claim
• Verify right-over-left closure if marketed as men's; misclassification to women's can occur without clear design indicators
• Avoid bulk packaging; present as retail-ready to prevent shift to other categories
