Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' (e.g

• polyester >50%) and avoid reclassification to cotton headings

• Provide detailed invoices specifying knit construction, women's sizing, and no prohibited features like waist pockets to meet chapter note exclusions

• Monitor quota status for cotton restraints (339); apply for licenses if applicable and watch for visa requirements on man-made apparel
