Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% cotton via lab tests to confirm HTS 6108.91 classification; blends may shift to other subheadings
• Label garments with country of origin, care instructions, and fiber content per FTC rules to avoid CBP holds
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as 'nightwear' which falls under different HTS codes
