Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify cotton content exceeds 85% via lab testing to confirm classification outside heading 6302 for specific towel types
• Include invoices specifying 'other cotton towels' and end-use as kitchen/dish to prevent reclassification as floor cloths under 6307.10
• Avoid bulk packaging resembling worn goods to steer clear of heading 6309 requirements for appreciable wear
