Import Tips
• Include artisan certificates and folklore provenance documents to support classification under the special hand-loomed provision
• Verify no synthetic blends; pure cotton content is key, and watch for pitfalls in declaring embroidered elements separately
• Label with country of origin and hand-loomed status prominently to prevent customs challenges
