Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% synthetic fibers via lab tests to confirm classification under synthetic fiber headings

• Include detailed invoices specifying 'knitted or crocheted' construction and retail packaging to avoid reclassification as woven

• Avoid common pitfalls like missing country-of-origin labels, which can delay clearance for apparel imports
