Import Tips

• Verify fiber content is at least 70% cotton via lab tests for accurate classification under cotton heading; blends may shift to man-made fibers

• Label garments clearly with country of origin, care instructions, and fiber content to comply with FTC and CBP requirements

• Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying as shirts (6106) if no full neckline opening; check stitch density and waist features
