Import Tips

• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'swimwear' use and man-made fiber composition to differentiate from casual shorts

• Comply with FTC fiber content rules; label accurately as '100% nylon' to prevent penalties

• For boys' sizes, ensure no prohibited drawstrings per 16 CFR Part 1500 to avoid CBP holds
