Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' status, avoiding reclassification to cotton or man-made fiber subheadings

• Label garments clearly with fiber composition and country of origin per FTC and CBP requirements to prevent customs delays

• Ensure no drawstrings or ribbed waistbands at the bottom, as these could shift classification under Chapter 61 notes
