Import Tips
• Verify the garment is woven cotton (not knitted) via lab tests to confirm HTS 6208.19.20.00 classification and avoid reclassification to Chapter 61
• Include detailed fiber content labels (e.g
• 100% cotton) and country of origin documentation to meet US FTC and CBP requirements
• Watch for common pitfalls like misdeclaring as outerwear, which could shift to HTS 6204 and alter duties
