Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests to avoid reclassification to cotton headings
• Label garments clearly with country of origin and care instructions to meet U.S. customs fiber content rules
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as blouses if no neckline opening, leading to duty adjustments
