Import Tips
• Label fiber content accurately (cotton must predominate); mismatches lead to penalties under cotton quota rules
• Submit swatches and coating specs to CBP for binding rulings on 'impregnated/coated' status
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as non-coated; inspections often test for rubber/plastics presence
