Import Tips

• Verify cotton content exceeds 85% and document embroidery details to confirm classification under 6302.21.50.30, avoiding shift to plain cotton bed linen

• Provide invoices specifying 'bolster cases' and 'not napped' to prevent reclassification; include fabric swatches if requested by customs

• Ensure labeling complies with FTC textile rules for fiber content and country of origin to dodge penalties
