Import Tips

• 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
