Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify fabric composition via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' excluding cotton/wool; declare accurately to avoid reclassification

• Check cotton restraint (347) quotas with OTEXA before shipping; provide origin certificates for non-cotton textiles

• Label with fiber content, care instructions, and country of origin per FTC and CBP rules; watch for undervaluation audits
