Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests for accurate classification and labeling under FTC rules

• Ensure country-of-origin documentation complies with yarn-forward rules if from NAFTA or similar agreements to qualify for preferences

• Avoid misclassification as blouses by confirming men's left-over-right front closure and tailored fit
