Import Tips

Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm 'other textile materials' status and avoid cotton restraint quotas

Ensure labeling complies with FTC rules for country of origin and fiber composition on knitted garments

Watch for misclassification as jackets if hoods or extensive quilting suggest outerwear beyond vest scope
