Import Tips & Compliance

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
