Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm 50%+ cotton/man-made fibers, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification
• Include coating thickness specs in documentation; excessive rubber may shift to Chapter 39 plastics
• Avoid common pitfall of importing with fourchettes, which excludes from this subheading
