Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab testing to confirm Chapter 61 classification and avoid reclassification to cotton headings

• Ensure labeling includes country of origin, fiber content, and care instructions per FTC and CBP requirements to prevent entry refusal

• Check for no pockets below waist or ribbed waistbands, as these exclude from heading 6105 per chapter notes
