Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify cotton content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate fiber classification under 359 category

• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'parts of shirts' to avoid misclassification as complete garments

• Ensure no knitting; woven cotton only to stay in Chapter 62, avoiding Chapter 61 duties
