Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm 36%+ flax, as misdeclaration can lead to penalties under HTS rules
• Include detailed invoices specifying flax percentage and garment construction to avoid reclassification during customs exam
• Ensure labeling complies with FTC textile rules for fiber content and country of origin
