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
