Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification
• Label shirts with country of origin, care instructions, and fiber content per FTC rules to avoid CBP holds
• Avoid misclassifying as knitted (Chapter 61) by providing weave structure documentation
