Import Tips

• Document the extent of lace trimming with photos or samples to justify HTS 6302.31.30 over simpler categories

• Check for quota restrictions on cotton bed linen; apply for licenses early to avoid delays

• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics worn goods, as that could trigger scrutiny under heading 6309
