Import Tips

• Verify fabric composition via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' status, avoiding misclassification into man-made fiber subheadings

• Include detailed invoices specifying weave type (not knitted) and garment measurements for valuation and quota checks

• Label with fiber content, care instructions, and country of origin per FTC and CBP requirements to prevent delays
