Import Tips

• Label garments clearly as 'women's' based on right-over-left closure and sizing; include country of origin and care instructions per FTC rules

• Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying as shirts (6206) by ensuring no full neckline opening; provide commercial invoices detailing construction
