Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests to confirm Chapter 62 classification and avoid reclassification to cotton headings
• Ensure labeling includes country of origin, care instructions, and fiber composition per FTC rules to prevent CBP holds
• Watch for down/feather fills, which may shift to 6202.40.10 if not fully synthetic insulation
