Import Tips

Verify the ensemble is put up for retail sale with matching components of identical cotton fabric to avoid reclassification; provide weave analysis confirming two or more colors in warp/filling

Label fiber content accurately and include invoices specifying 'blouses and shirts' subset

Watch for common pitfalls like single garments being misentered as ensembles
