Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is at least 70% cotton via lab tests for accurate declaration under cotton-specific subheading
• Ensure country-of-origin labeling complies with FTC rules; common pitfall is misdeclaring blends as pure cotton
• Provide commercial invoices detailing construction (woven, not knitted) to prevent reclassification to Chapter 61
