Import Tips

• Verify cotton content exceeds 85% with lab tests or supplier certifications to avoid reclassification under blended fabric subheadings

• Include detailed invoices specifying 'napped' texture and 'bolster case' dimensions to match the exact HTS description and prevent duty disputes

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as standard pillow sham, which could shift to non-napped 6302.31 codes; photograph napped surface for proof
