Import Tips

• Verify fiber content is over 70% synthetic fibers via lab tests to confirm Chapter 62 classification and avoid reclassification to cotton headings

• Ensure labeling specifies 'girls' garment' with right-over-left closure and includes care instructions per FTC rules

• Declare as individual skirts, not ensembles; provide invoices showing retail packaging to prevent grouping with upper garments
