Import Tips

• Verify textile composition via lab testing to confirm vegetable fibers (e.g

• cotton) exceed 50% weight over any other single fiber

• Provide manufacturer specs and fiber content declarations to avoid reclassification to 4010.39.10 for man-made fibers

• Ensure no metal cords predominate, as that shifts to 4010.31; watch for common undervaluation pitfalls
