Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% cotton via lab tests to confirm Chapter 63 classification and avoid reclassification to man-made fibers
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'napped' finish and bed linen use; common pitfall is insufficient description leading to duty disputes
• Ensure compliance with US flammability standards (16 CFR 1632) for bedding; non-compliance results in CBP holds
