Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 85% by weight via lab testing; provide mill certificates to avoid reclassification
• Ensure no retail packaging like consumer labels or small cards; bulk spools only to qualify under this subheading
• Check for cotton import quotas if from restricted countries; use licensed customs brokers for quota tracking
