Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate Chapter 61 classification and fiber labeling under FTC rules
• Include commercial invoices detailing knit construction and 'women's underwear' description to avoid reclassification as outerwear
• Watch for quota restrictions on cotton apparel; apply for visas if importing from quota-affected countries like China
