Frequently Asked Questions
What specific customs inspection risks exist for cotton bath towels classified under HTS 630260?
Shipments of cotton bath towels face heightened inspection risk for verifying the correct fiber content (i.e., 100% cotton) and weight, as duties are influenced by these factors. Customs authorities also frequently verify the product's construction (terry towelling) and end-use classification to ensure it is correctly classified as "toilet linen" and not misdeclared as other textile articles with different duty rates or quota restrictions.
What additional import costs beyond the duty rate should be considered for cotton bath towels classified under HTS 630260?
Importers of cotton bath towels must account for the Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF), which is 0.3464% of the entered value (minimum $31.67, maximum $634.62 per shipment). Additionally, cotton products are subject to a Cotton Fee, currently set at $0.0225 per kilogram of cotton content, which is collected quarterly by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Compliance Notes for Cotton Bath Towels
