Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm vegetable fibers like cotton and ensure no pile/tufted construction to avoid reclassification
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'pocket wallet of cotton canvas' and provide textile composition certificates for CBP review
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as leather-covered, which shifts to 4202.32.10; watch for plastic linings that might invoke 4202.32.20
