Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests as 'other textile materials' excludes cotton over 70% or man-made fibers; blends like linen-rayon qualify
• Label garments clearly with fiber composition, country of origin, and care instructions to meet FTC and CBP requirements
• Avoid misclassification as swimwear (6211.11) by ensuring no water-resistant coatings or swim-specific designs
