Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 50% by weight via lab tests for accurate classification under 'of cotton' subheading
• Include detailed textile composition labels and country-of-origin certificates to avoid misclassification as plastic-surfaced
• Watch for pile/tufted constructions which shift to other subheadings; ensure smooth cotton weave
