Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is at least 70% cotton via lab testing to confirm Chapter 62 classification excluding knits
• Label garments clearly with country of origin, care instructions, and fiber content per FTC rules to avoid CBP holds
• Ensure right-over-left front closure for women's classification; left-over-right may shift to men's headings
