Import Tips

Verify fiber content exceeds 70% synthetic via lab tests to confirm Chapter 61 classification and avoid reclassification to cotton headings

Label garments clearly with country of origin, fiber content, and care instructions per FTC and CBP requirements to prevent holds at entry

Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as swimwear, which shifts to Chapter 62; document non-swim intent with sales descriptions
