Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% man-made fibers via lab tests to avoid reclassification under cotton headings
• Include detailed invoices specifying embroidery details and 'not napped' status to prevent duty disputes
• Ensure packaging labels distinguish from bolster cases, a common pitfall leading to misclassification
