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
