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 and CBP requirements to prevent holds at entry

• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as adult sizes; measure chest/height to ensure boys' sizing under statistical suffix 338
