Import Tips

• Verify fiber content is at least 70% artificial fibers like polyester via lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification

• Label with country of origin, care instructions, and girls' sizing; include HTS 6204.59.3020 on commercial invoice

• Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying as part of an ensemble (6204.53) by importing skirts separately, not in sets
