Import Tips

• Verify the fabric is woven (not knitted) cotton with two or more colors in warp/filling via lab tests to confirm 6207.21.0020 classification

• Label with fiber content (e.g

• 100% cotton), country of origin, and care instructions per FTC and CBP requirements to avoid detentions

• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as single-color (duty shift to 6207.21.0010) or adult sizing, which changes to 6207.11
