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
