Import Tips

• Label fiber content accurately per FTC rules; discrepancies trigger penalties under 19 CFR 134

• Include commercial invoices specifying print method (e.g

• reactive dyeing) to confirm 'printed' status

• Avoid bulk packaging without retail intent, as it may reclassify under unfinished fabric headings
