Import Tips

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

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

• Avoid common pitfalls like incomplete commercial invoices missing HTS details, which can delay entry
