Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content exceeds 85% man-made fibers via lab testing to confirm classification under 6302.32; blends may shift to cotton headings

Label as 'napped' or provide fabric swatch samples to customs for texture verification, avoiding misclassification as non-napped

Ensure pillowcases are finished for retail bedding use, not industrial, to prevent reclassification as parts under Chapter 59
