Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests to confirm classification under 6211.11.10 and avoid reclassification to cotton blends
• Include swimwear-specific labeling like 'not for general wear' and ensure documentation shows retail packaging to prevent bulk shipment pitfalls
• Watch for drawstring regulations under CPSIA; ban on certain cords in children's swimwear extends to boys' sizes
