Import Tips

• Verify textile fiber content via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' excluding wool or cotton blends over specified limits

• Label garments clearly with fiber composition, country of origin, and care instructions to meet FTC and CBP requirements

• Avoid misclassification as swimwear or industrial workwear; provide performance specs showing recreational hiking use
