Import Tips
• Verify the garment is knitted or crocheted with cotton content exceeding 70% via lab tests for accurate Chapter 61 classification
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'women's shorts' with right-over-left closure and measurements to avoid misclassification as unisex
• Avoid common pitfalls like missing fiber content labels, which can lead to FDA or CBP holds
