Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is at least 85% cotton via lab tests to confirm Chapter 63 classification and avoid reclassification to man-made fibers
• Provide detailed invoices specifying embroidery/applique details and 'not napped' status to prevent scrutiny under napped subheadings
• Ensure country-of-origin labeling complies with FTC rules; common pitfall is undervaluing handmade embroidery components
