Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is 100% cotton or predominantly cotton via lab tests to meet 359 category requirements
• Ensure dimensions exceed 60 cm per side to avoid reclassification as handkerchiefs under 6213.10
• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'shawl' or 'scarf' use to prevent customs disputes on garment status
