Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify cotton content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification; blends may shift to other subheadings

• Label with fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions per FTC and CBP requirements to avoid detention

• Avoid classifying as sets if sold individually; common pitfall leading to misclassification under 6207.91.10
