Import Tips
• Include fiber content labels specifying cotton percentage and rubber core details for accurate valuation
• Declare as 'textile covered' only if covering meets visibility test; otherwise, expect Chapter 40 scrutiny
• Watch for quota restrictions under statistical note 201; excess may face higher duties
