Import Tips
• Verify textile composition via lab testing to confirm vegetable fibers (e.g
• cotton) exceed 50% by weight over any other single fiber
• Provide manufacturer specs and fiber content declarations to avoid misclassification as synthetic-reinforced (4010.12.50)
• Ensure no metal cords are present, as that shifts to 4010.11
