Import Tips
• Include rabbinical certification verifying tzitzit construction meets religious standards
• Clearly mark invoices as 'religious garment for daily prayer use only' to prevent commercial classification
• Avoid bulk commercial packaging that suggests retail sale rather than institutional/religious distribution
