Import Tips
• Verify corduroy wale count (typically 4-11 per cm) and 100% cotton composition via lab tests to confirm 334 category eligibility
• Provide detailed fabric construction invoices; mislabeling as non-corduroy risks reclassification to general cotton jackets
• Ensure left-over-right front closure for men's classification; include care labels per FTC rules to avoid CBP holds
