Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 50% for outer surface via lab tests to confirm classification under 'of cotton' subheading
• Include detailed textile composition labels and country-of-origin certificates to prevent CBP reclassification
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as plastic exterior if cotton dominates visible surface
