Import Tips
• Provide invoices detailing lace content and origin; mixed-origin trims can complicate country-of-origin rules
• Label as 'pillow sham' not 'cover' if flanged; terminology affects bedding classification consistency
• Avoid bulk packaging resembling worn goods to prevent misclassification under heading 6309
