Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis to ensure synthetic classification; blends over 50% non-synthetic may shift headings
• Use FDA-compliant dyes if swimwear contacts skin extensively; violations result in quarantines
• Declare as swimwear explicitly on entries to avoid misclassification as underwear (Chapter 62 other garments)
