Import Tips
• Include certificates of authenticity from artisan cooperatives for hand-loomed status to comply with subheading requirements
• Test for animal hair purity; admixtures with wool under 50% fine hair may still qualify but require precise declaration
• Ship in bulk bales to distinguish from retail goods, preventing confusion with Chapter 94 bedding
