Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is at least 70% cotton via lab tests to avoid reclassification; include invoices showing weave details
• Label garments with country of origin, care instructions, and fiber composition per FTC rules to prevent CBP holds
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as single-color if plaid patterns qualify as multi-warp/filling
