Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify all ensemble components use identical cotton fabric construction, color, and composition per Chapter 61 notes to avoid reclassification as separate garments

β€’ Provide detailed packing lists showing retail set packaging and matching sizes; common pitfall is mismatched components leading to duty disputes

β€’ Label fiber content accurately as over 70% cotton if applicable, and ensure no drawstrings or ribbed waistbands on shorts to stay out of other headings
