Import Tips

• Conduct fiber analysis if blends approach cotton limits to confirm 'other textile' status and restraint applicability

• Include commercial invoices specifying 'ensemble set for retail sale' to prevent disassembly during inspection

• Watch for visa requirements under cotton category 342; delays common without proper documentation
