Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm it meets 'stuffed' criteria and avoid reclassification as Chapter 63 textile articles
• Include detailed stuffing material invoices and care label documentation to comply with FTC labeling requirements
• Watch for flammability standards like 16 CFR 1632 for pillows; non-compliance leads to CBP holds
