Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 50% cotton in outer cover via lab testing for accurate HTS classification
• Include detailed fill material invoices; polyester must be specified as 'other fill' to match 9404.90.10.60
• Avoid misclassification as quilts by ensuring no quilting or dual bedding function
