Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify fiber content is at least 85% cotton or qualifying man-made fibers via lab tests to confirm classification

• Include detailed invoices specifying 'woven labels, not embroidered' to avoid misclassification as embroidered goods under 5810

• Ensure labels are imported in strips or cut to size, not fully sewn-on, as assembled badges may shift to other headings
