Import Tips

• Verify cotton content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification and avoid reclassification to synthetic blends

• Include detailed invoices specifying 'recreational performance outerwear' to justify the 6204.62.1556 subheading; generic 'shorts' may default to lower categories

• Label garments with country of origin, care instructions, and fiber content per FTC rules to prevent holds at CBP
