Import Tips

• Verify fiber content is over 70% artificial fibers (e.g

• polyester) via lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification excluding cotton or wool

• Include detailed invoices specifying 'recreational performance outerwear' to avoid misclassification as ordinary shorts under 6203.49.40

• Ensure labeling meets FTC care and fiber content rules; common pitfall is missing country-of-origin markings leading to CBP holds
