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
