Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify cotton content exceeds 85% with lab tests for accurate classification and labeling under US customs rules

• Provide detailed invoices specifying embroidery details to prevent misclassification as plain pillowcases

• Ensure no napping or felting on fabric surface, as napped items shift to other subheadings
