Import Tips & Compliance

• Include bleaching process certification; unbleached terry goes to 5802.10.10 while other colors/bleached to 5802.10.90

• Ensure commercial invoice specifies 'woven terry' to distinguish from knitted terry (6001)

• Check for contamination; synthetic blends over 15% may reclassify under man-made fiber headings
