Import Tips

• Verify cotton fiber content exceeds 50% via lab testing to confirm Chapter 61 classification and avoid reclassification to synthetic headings

• Document lace/net incorporation with supplier specs and photos, as customs may scrutinize for 'containing' vs mere trim

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'socks' without specifying hosiery type; include care labels per FTC requirements
