Import Tips

• Verify the fabric is truly napped (brushed on one or both sides) via lab testing to confirm classification under the napped subheading

• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'printed' and 'napped' attributes, along with fiber content labels showing 100% cotton or qualifying blends

• Avoid misclassification as non-napped (6302.21.7010) by documenting the brushing process; common pitfall is insufficient surface texture proof
