Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests to confirm Chapter 62 classification

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

• Avoid classifying as knitted if woven; check construction to prevent misclassification to Chapter 61
