Import Tips
• Provide invoices detailing dimensions, cotton purity, and intended shop use to support classification
• Avoid mixed fiber blends over 15% non-cotton to stay in cotton subheading; test for compliance
• Declare as 'shop towels' not 'rags' in entry docs, as terminology affects HTS determination
