Import Tips

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

Include detailed invoices specifying 'knitted nightdress' and garment measurements to meet U.S

Customs documentation requirements

Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as lingerie sets, which could shift to heading 6117 if sold as coordinated ensembles
