Import Tips

Provide sworn affidavits or mill certificates confirming cotton fiber content to prevent misclassification as synthetic textiles

Ensure no substantial plastic reinforcements on the outer surface, as they could trigger reclassification to 4202.32 plastics headings

Document dimensions to prove 'pocket-sized' intent, avoiding scrutiny as larger handbags under 4202.12 or similar
