Embroidered Polyester Bolster Case from Japan

A cylindrical pillow cover made from 100% polyester man-made fiber fabric, featuring delicate embroidery along the edges. It is classified under HTS 6302.32.1050 as bed linen specifically for bolsters, containing embroidery which qualifies it for this subheading. The man-made fiber composition and applique-like embroidery distinguish it from plain cases.

Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% man-made fibers via lab testing to avoid reclassification to cotton bed linen headings

• Include detailed invoices specifying embroidery details and dimensions to confirm 'bolster case' classification

• Ensure country-of-origin labeling complies with FTC rules; common pitfall is misdeclaring as shams leading to audits
