Import Tips

Verify fiber content is at least 85% cotton via lab tests to confirm Chapter 62 classification and avoid reclassification to man-made fibers

Label shirts with country of origin, care instructions, and fiber content per FTC rules; include 'men's' designation for closure style compliance

Watch for undervaluation pitfalls—use transaction value based on commercial invoices; declare corduroy specifically to match subheading
