Import Tips
• Provide folklore certification and hand-loom affidavits; CBP often audits these for authenticity
• Ensure brim and crown are made up from fabric in the piece, not strips, to avoid 6501 reclassification
• Document weight and measurements to confirm not toy/carnival items excluded by chapter notes
