Import Tips
• Verify corduroy wale count and cotton content via lab tests for fiber analysis to confirm HTS 6204.62.80.06 classification
• Label garments with country of origin, care instructions, and fiber content per FTC rules to avoid CBP holds
• Avoid misclassifying as denim (5209) by providing weave documentation; common pitfall is incorrect fabric ID
