Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% polyester via lab tests to avoid reclassification to wool-blend headings
• Include swimwear-specific labeling like 'not for industrial use' to prevent scrutiny under safety standards
• Watch for drawstring waistbands, as they may trigger review against Chapter 61 tightening restrictions
