Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds other fibers by weight in textile layer via lab testing for accurate classification
• Provide weight certificates confirming total product >1.492 kg/m² to avoid reclassification to lighter subheadings
• Label fiber content per FTC rules; mislabeling leads to CBP holds and penalties
