Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab testing to confirm 6109 classification and avoid reclassification to cotton headings

• Label garments clearly with fiber composition, care instructions, and country of origin per FTC and CBP requirements to prevent customs holds

• Avoid common pitfalls like importing with drawstrings or tightening at bottom, which excludes from 6109 per chapter notes
