Import Tips

• Obtain certification documentation proving hand-loomed and folklore status from authorized bodies to claim the 640 provision and reduced duties

• Ensure fiber content is accurately labeled as man-made (e.g

• polyester) and provide origin certificates highlighting cultural authenticity

• Avoid misclassification by confirming no machine-loomed elements; common pitfall is lacking folklore certification leading to higher general rates
