Import Tips

• Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm at least 36% flax by weight, as required for this subheading; provide certificates to customs

• Label garments clearly with fiber composition per FTC rules to avoid reclassification during import inspection

• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as pure cotton (6204.42.10), which has different rates; check for any trim that might alter classification
