Import Tips
• Verify 100% cotton composition via lab tests or supplier certifications to avoid reclassification under man-made fiber subheadings
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'curtains' not 'drapes' or 'bed valances' to match HTS description and prevent misclassification
• Ensure flammability compliance with U.S. standards like 16 CFR 1610 for residential textile imports
