Import Tips

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

• Label garments clearly with fiber composition, country of origin, and care instructions per FTC and CBP requirements to prevent holds at entry

• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as 'other undergarments' (6108.91); ensure no drawstrings or tightening features that might shift to 6109
