Import Tips
• Verify fabric composition via lab tests to confirm it qualifies as 'other textile materials' excluding cotton, wool, or MMF headings
• Ensure labeling meets FTC fiber content rules and country of origin marking for US customs clearance
• Avoid misclassification as man-made fiber dresses (6204.49.10) by documenting weave and material specs
