Import Tips
• Verify the fiber content exceeds 70% non-cotton to avoid reclassification under cotton-specific subheadings
• Provide lab test reports confirming quilting via stitching with padding to distinguish from simple laminates
• Declare exact width and weight per square meter, as these affect valuation and potential Chapter 59 exclusions
