Import Tips

• Verify cotton content exceeds 50% by weight with lab tests or supplier certifications to avoid reclassification to synthetic headings

• Include detailed invoices specifying spring count, stuffing materials, and ticking composition to meet CBP documentation standards

• Avoid common pitfalls like incomplete flammability compliance (16 CFR 1632/1633); test and label all units prior to shipment
