Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests for accurate declaration under subheading 652

• Label with country of origin, care instructions, and fiber content per FTC rules to avoid CBP holds

• Avoid misclassifying as knitted (Chapter 61); woven or non-knitted construction is key for Chapter 62
