Import Tips

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

• Ensure labeling includes country of origin, fiber content, and care instructions per FTC and CBP requirements to prevent holds at entry

• Watch for drawstrings or ribbed waistbands, which could shift classification out of heading 6108 per chapter notes
