Import Tips

• Verify fabric composition via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' (non-cotton/nylon predominant) and avoid reclassification to cotton headings

• Provide detailed invoices specifying recreational use and garment features like waterproofing to support 6201 classification over 6210

• Note cotton restraint (334) quota; monitor USTR announcements for limits and obtain necessary textile visas
