Import Tips
• Verify synthetic fiber content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate classification and labeling under FTC rules
• Include care labels specifying washing instructions as required for textile imports; declare as 'recreational performance' to avoid general trouser subheadings
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on Chinese nylon imports; provide invoices showing country of origin and value breakdown
