Import Tips
• Verify the fabric is truly napped (brushed on one side) via lab testing to confirm classification; ensure printing covers at least 85% of surface area per HTS rules
• Label fiber content accurately as 100% cotton to avoid reclassification
• Common pitfall: misdeclaring as non-napped leads to audits
