Import Tips
• Verify fabric composition via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' excluding wool/man-made fibers in specific subheadings
• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'recreational performance' use to avoid misclassification into lower-duty casual wear
• Ensure labeling meets FTC fiber content rules; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to CBP audits
