Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 100% man-made fibers, as blends over 50% could shift classification
• Label with country of origin, care instructions, and fiber content per FTC rules to avoid CBP holds
• Avoid marketing as 'performance wear' if not functional, as it may trigger reclassification to apparel headings
