Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests to avoid reclassification to cotton or wool headings

• Include detailed invoices specifying 'women's overcoat' and garment measurements to confirm right-over-left closure for women's classification

• Avoid common pitfalls like missing country-of-origin labels, which can delay entry; use woven labels sewn in per CBP requirements
