Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% artificial fibers via lab tests for accurate classification; blends under 70% may shift to other subheadings
• Ensure labeling complies with FTC rules for fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions to avoid CBP holds
• Avoid classifying as part of a suit set; import separately to prevent reclassification under 6203.42
