Import Tips

• Verify synthetic fiber content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification; blends under 50% may shift to cotton headings

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

• Avoid marketing as 'denim' if synthetic to dodge misclassification claims; document as 'denim-look' for audits
