Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 50% on outer surface via lab tests to confirm classification under 4202.22.45.00
• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'handbag of cotton canvas' to avoid misclassification as plastic sheeting (4202.22.15)
• Check for prohibited fur linings, as they shift to Chapter 43; declare any minor trims accurately
