Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% synthetic fibers via lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification, excluding knitted items
• Ensure right-over-left closure and women's cut to avoid reclassification to men's headings; provide cut patterns if challenged
• Label country of origin and care instructions per FTC rules to prevent delays at CBP
