Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 100% artificial fibers like polyester or rayon, as natural blends shift classification
• Include commercial invoice detailing HTS code, fabric composition, and country of origin for smooth CBP entry
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as cotton; ensure no pockets below waist to prevent reclassification under other headings
