Import Tips & Compliance

Verify cotton content exceeds 50% and ensure no knitted construction to stay in Chapter 62; provide lab test reports for fiber composition

Label garment with country of origin, care instructions, and fiber content per FTC rules; common pitfall is misclassifying as down-filled under different subheading

Include commercial invoice detailing HTS code, value, and 'padded sleeveless jacket' description to prevent CBP reclassification
