Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide technical specs proving swimwear purpose (e.g
• water-repellent finish) to distinguish from casual shorts during CBP review
• Include commercial invoices detailing HTS, value, and quantity; mismatches lead to delays or penalties
• Check for lead content in drawcords if targeting youth sizes, as CPSIA applies even to imported adult swimwear
