Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% cotton via lab tests to avoid reclassification; include detailed invoices with yarn construction
• Label garments with country of origin, care instructions, and fiber content per FTC rules to prevent CBP holds
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as knitted (Chapter 61); check weave structure during production audits
