Import Tips

• Verify corduroy wale count meets 347 specification and provide fabric swatches if requested by customs

• Label garments with fiber content (at least 85% cotton) and country of origin per FTC and CBP rules

• Avoid misclassification as ensembles by importing trousers separately, not in suit sets
