Import Tips
• Include lab analysis confirming 100% cotton composition to prevent disputes over fiber content
• Check U.S. quantitative restrictions; non-WTO countries may face exclusions on cotton waste entries
• Declare processing level accurately—garnetting doesn't change HTS but affects end-use declarations
