Import Tips
• Verify fabric is woven (not knitted) via lab tests to confirm Chapter 62 classification and avoid reclassification to Chapter 61
• Label with fiber content, care instructions, and country of origin per FTC and CBP requirements to prevent entry refusals
• Ensure no prohibited azo dyes or restricted chemicals in dyes; common pitfall is failing flammability tests for swimwear
