Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm linen composition, as blends may shift classification to man-made fiber headings
• Ensure labeling complies with FTC rules for country of origin and fiber content to avoid CBP holds
• Watch for pocket placement; shirts with pockets below the waist fall outside heading 6205
