Import Tips
• 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
