Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests to avoid reclassification to cotton blends

• Include commercial invoice specifying 'men's dress shirt' and HTS code to prevent exam delays

• Avoid shipments with pockets below waist or ribbed waistbands, as they shift to other headings
