Import Tips

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

• Label shirts clearly with country of origin, care instructions, and fiber composition per FTC rules to prevent CBP holds

• Watch for misdeclaration of color patterns; single-color shirts shift to lower-duty subheadings
