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
