Import Tips
• Verify 100% cotton content with lab tests or supplier certificates to avoid misclassification under synthetic blends
• Ensure labeling complies with FTC textile rules, including country of origin and fiber content for US market entry
• Watch for napping or special finishes that could shift to other subheadings; declare as 'not napped' accurately
