Import Tips

• Verify synthetic fiber content exceeds 70% polyester via lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification, avoiding reclassification to cotton headings

• Label garments clearly as 'girls'' with right-over-left closure and include care instructions to comply with FTC textile rules

• Provide documentation proving recreational performance use (e.g

• fabric specs) to prevent misclassification as ordinary shorts under 6204.63.3510
