Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 85% by weight with lab tests or supplier certifications to avoid reclassification under man-made fiber headings
• Declare exact construction (e.g
• twisted vs. braided) in entry docs as it impacts NES status
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'rope' which could shift to 5607 if over 4.8mm diameter
