Import Tips
• Submit detailed fiber content analysis (cotton ≥85%) per laboratory test to justify cotton heading over man-made fibers
• Avoid consumer-style labeling or small spools, as this triggers 5204.20 retail subheading
• Check for anti-dumping duties on core-spun from specific origins; declare exact construction
