Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 85% with lab tests for accurate classification and to avoid reclassification to man-made fiber headings
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'unfilled shell' to prevent customs treating it as a completed sleeping bag
• Check for current cotton textile import quotas and visa requirements via OTEXA before shipping
