Import Tips

Verify cotton content exceeds 50% and document fiber analysis to avoid reclassification under synthetic headings

Inspect for any trim exceeding 6.35mm width, as this disqualifies from 9404.90.81.00 and shifts to higher-duty subheadings

Provide stuffing material certificates; common pitfall is mislabeling polyester fill as exempt when origin rules apply
