Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% synthetic via lab tests for accurate classification under 6104.43
• Include care labels specifying 'knitted polyester' to avoid reclassification as woven under Chapter 62
• Declare as 'other' dresses; avoid claiming swimwear status to prevent duty shifts
