Import Tips
• Verify the fabric is truly napped (raised fibers) and printed; provide lab tests or swatches to customs if challenged
• Ensure fiber content labeling shows 100% cotton or precise blends to avoid reclassification to synthetic headings
• Declare sheets separately from sets; bundling with pillowcases may shift to 6302.22 if not purely sheets
