Import Tips

Verify fabric composition via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' status, avoiding misclassification into synthetic headings like 6204.53

Ensure labeling includes fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions per FTC and CBP requirements

Avoid common pitfalls like importing as sets; separate skirts from matching tops to prevent ensemble classification
