Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm man-made composition exceeds 70% for accurate classification and avoid reclassification to cotton headings

Include commercial invoices detailing HTS 6103.49.8014 and restraint category (647) to prevent delays under textile import quotas

Label garments with country of origin and fiber content per FTC rules; common pitfall is mislabeling blends leading to penalties
