Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 85% cotton via lab tests for accurate classification and labeling under textile rules
• Provide invoices detailing 'dishcloth' use to prevent misclassification as apparel parts from Chapters 56-62
• Avoid bulk packaging resembling worn goods to steer clear of Heading 6309 requirements for appreciable wear
