Import Tips
• Verify fiber content lab tests showing at least 36% flax by weight via invoice and lab certification to avoid reclassification
• Label garments clearly with fiber composition, country of origin, and care instructions per FTC and CBP requirements
• Watch for misclassification as lower flax content (under 36%) which shifts to 6110.20.20, potentially altering duties
