Import Tips

Verify fiber content via lab tests as 'other textile materials' excludes cotton/wool; mislabeling leads to reclassification

Ensure 'made up' knitted construction with invoices detailing yarn type to avoid Chapter 62 woven dress duties

Include care labels per FTC rules; common pitfall is missing country-of-origin marking on polyester blends
