Import Tips
• Provide mill certificates proving Egyptian cotton origin to support premium pricing and avoid generic cotton duties
• Check for flammability standards if treated; untreated sateen qualifies under this code without special declarations
• Bundle with sheets only if invoiced separately to prevent set classification under 6302.31
