Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm artificial fibers (e.g

• viscose >70%) for accurate classification under 6204.69; natural blends may shift to 6204.62

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

• Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying as swimwear (6211.11) if not designed for water use; provide style photos for customs review
