Import Tips

• Verify fiber content is at least 85% cotton via lab tests to confirm terry toweling classification; blends under 85% may shift to 6302.60.0034

• Include care labels specifying 'machine washable' as required for household textiles; missing labels can lead to FDA or CBP holds

• Avoid common pitfalls by distinguishing from floorcloths (6302.60.0010)—ensure no reinforced edges or non-slip backing for 'other' status
