Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate classification under cotton-specific subheading
• Include detailed construction specs (e.g
• boning type, lining) in invoices to avoid reclassification as apparel
• Ensure labeling complies with FTC fiber content rules to prevent CBP holds at entry
