Import Tips
• Verify man-made fiber content exceeds 70% via lab tests to confirm HTS 6108.11.00.10; natural fiber blends shift to other codes
• Label as 'slip' not 'dress' on invoices to prevent reclassification; include country-of-origin documentation
• Avoid common pitfall of importing with matching robes as sets, which may classify under 6108.29 for ensembles
