Import Tips

Verify fiber content exceeds 70% artificial fibers via lab tests to confirm classification; declare exact composition on entry

Ensure labeling includes country of origin, care instructions, and fiber content per FTC rules to avoid CBP holds

Avoid classifying as swimwear if no water-resistant features; common pitfall is mislabeling casual shorts
