Import Tips & Compliance

Verify cotton content exceeds 50% by weight and confirm no prohibited trims via lab testing to avoid reclassification

Include detailed stuffing material declaration on commercial invoice; polyester fill is common but must be specified

Watch for inadvertent applique-like stitching that could push into higher-duty embroidered subheadings
