Import Tips
• Verify sorting by fiber type (e.g
• 85%+ cotton) with lab tests to avoid reclassification as unsorted scrap under 6310.90
• Provide certificates of prior use/wear and bulk packaging documentation to comply with Chapter 63 notes
• Avoid contamination with non-textile materials, as mixtures may shift to heading 6309 if not sorted
