Import Tips

• Verify the outer surface is predominantly cotton (at least 50% by weight) via lab testing to confirm classification under 4202.32.4000

• Include detailed fiber content labels and invoices specifying 'cotton outer surface' to avoid reclassification to plastic sheeting headings

• Watch for common pitfalls like added plastic linings that could shift classification if they form the visible outer surface
