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
