Import Tips

Verify fiber content is at least 85% cotton via lab testing to confirm Chapter 61 classification and avoid reclassification to man-made fibers

Label garments clearly with country of origin, care instructions, and fiber content per FTC rules to prevent CBP holds

Avoid adding drawstrings or ribbed waistbands, as these exclude from 6109 per chapter notes; common pitfall is misclassifying as 6106
