Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests as 'other textile materials' excludes cotton, wool, and specific synthetics; declare accurately to avoid reclassification

• Ensure left-over-right front closure for men's classification; provide garment diagrams if cut is ambiguous

• Label country of origin and care instructions per FTC rules; watch for undervaluation penalties on casual apparel
