Import Tips
• Test for artificial vs. synthetic fibers; acetate is artificial (regenerated cellulose), affecting duty rates differently from polyester
• Avoid retail packaging with upper garments to prevent ensemble classification under notes
• Include size charts showing compatibility only for individual sizing, not sets
