Import Tips

Verify fiber content is predominantly man-made (e.g

polyester >85%) via lab tests to avoid reclassification to cotton headings

Include commercial invoices specifying 'girls' sizing (youth sizes 4-16) and retail packaging to confirm Chapter 62 classification

Avoid common pitfalls like missing country-of-origin labels, which can delay customs clearance for apparel imports
