Import Tips

• Declare exact rayon type (viscose or modal) in invoices to match artificial fiber definition and prevent disputes

• Ensure no drawstrings or ribbed bottoms per notes, or risk reclassification under other headings

• Use HTS advisory rulings for high-value shipments to confirm 'dress' vs. 'shirt-dress' distinctions
