Import Tips
• Document denim weight (typically 10-14 oz) and confirm no synthetic fibers over limits; use lab tests for customs verification
• Ensure compliance with U.S. labeling laws (FTC rules) for fiber content and RN number; pitfall is incomplete care labels
• Import as individual trousers, not ensembles, to avoid higher duties; watch for ribbed waistbands disqualifying from similar headings
