Import Tips

• Obtain cotton textile visas if from quota countries like China; track Category 352 limits via OTEXA

• Document weave vs. knit with fabric swatches; CBP audits often challenge undergarment structures

• Bundle sizes compatibly to prevent 'ensemble' misclassification under 6207 note definitions
