Import Tips

• Verify cotton content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification; blends may shift to synthetic headings

• Label garments clearly with fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions to comply with FTC and CBP requirements

• Avoid classifying as suit components if sold separately; document retail packaging to prevent ensemble misclassification
