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
