Import Tips

Verify the fabric is 100% cotton with printing applied before cutting to avoid misclassification under unprinted linen

Provide lab test reports confirming no napping or felting on the surface to qualify under this subheading

Label products clearly as 'pillow covers' with dimensions to distinguish from pillow shams potentially classified elsewhere
