• Verify fiber content is at least 70% cotton via lab testing to confirm Chapter 61 classification and avoid reclassification to man-made fibers
• Ensure labeling includes country of origin, care instructions, and size per FTC and CBP requirements to prevent holds at entry
• Check stitch density (at least 10 stitches per cm in each direction) as low density may shift to heading 6117
