Import Tips & Compliance

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

• Include detailed invoices specifying embroidery details to avoid reclassification to plain bed linen

• Ensure no napping on fabric surface; document finishing processes to confirm not napped status
