Import Tips

• Verify the outer surface is predominantly textile (over 50%) via lab testing to avoid reclassification to plastic sheeting under 4202.22.15

• Include detailed material composition invoices and care labels to comply with FTC textile rules and prevent CBP holds

• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as 'shopping bags' (4202.22.80) if designed for fashion carry rather than grocery use
