Import Tips

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
