Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 85% and document napping process to confirm subheading eligibility; include lab tests for fiber analysis
• Label products clearly with care instructions and country of origin to meet FTC textile rules and avoid CBP holds
• Watch for misclassification as non-napped linen (6302.31.10), which has lower duties; provide fabric swatches if audited
