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
