Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% synthetic fibers via lab tests to confirm Chapter 62 classification and avoid reclassification to cotton headings

• Include set packaging documentation if imported as part of an ensemble to justify the 6204 heading over individual garments

• Label country of origin and care instructions clearly to meet FTC requirements and prevent CBP holds
