Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% synthetic fibers via lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification, avoiding reclassification to cotton headings

• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'women's dress of synthetic fibers' and right-over-left closure to confirm women's garment status

• Avoid common pitfalls like insufficient care labeling, which can delay clearance; ensure permanent labels meet US FTC requirements
