Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate classification; blends may shift to other subheadings
• Label garments clearly with fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions to comply with U.S. customs and FTC rules
• Avoid classifying as swimwear if designed for casual use; check for right-over-left closure indicating boys' garments
