Import Tips
• Provide woven structure photos or samples during customs review to distinguish from knitted labels under Chapter 60
• Declare exact man-made fiber type (e.g
• polyester) on entry docs; blends under 50% may alter classification
• Avoid packaging as finished garments; import as loose labels to prevent reclassification as apparel parts
