Import Tips
• Verify fabric composition via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' and avoid reclassification to cotton or man-made fiber subheadings
• Include performance specs like water resistance in invoices to justify recreational outerwear status
• Ensure labeling meets US FTC fiber content rules; common pitfall is misdeclaring performance features leading to audits
