Import Tips
• Document fiber content labels accurately; rayon blends often trigger man-made fiber quotas if over 50% synthetic
• Avoid classifying as dresses if skirt is separate; ensembles must have distinct upper and lower pieces
• Use commercial invoices specifying 'put up as ensemble for retail' to prevent duty upgrades
