Import Tips & Compliance

• Include detailed garment measurements and sketches in entry docs to confirm 'dress' classification over skirt sets

• Avoid common error of importing with accessories; separate packaging prevents ensemble misclassification

• Conduct pre-shipment inspections for colorfastness, as cotton dyes often fail US standards
