Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm over 70% man-made fibers for accurate classification under 6204.49
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'women's dress of polyester' and garment measurements to avoid misclassification as skirts
• Watch for quota restrictions under 636; apply for licenses early if importing large volumes from restrained countries
