Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify textile composition via lab tests to confirm non-cotton/nylon status and avoid misclassification under cotton quotas

• Include detailed invoices specifying yarn type, weight, and 'subject to cotton restraints' for quota compliance

• Monitor USTR cotton restraint announcements as quotas can trigger additional tariffs or licensing
