Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% artificial fibers via lab tests to confirm classification under artificial fibers subheading

• Include care labels specifying fabric composition, country of origin, and RN number to meet FTC requirements

• Avoid misclassification as industrial workwear; document recreational use to prevent reclassification to lower-duty codes
