Import Tips

• Verify fiber content is at least 50% cotton via lab tests to confirm classification; blends over 70% man-made may shift to 6211.12.8030

• Label garments clearly as swimwear with country of origin and care instructions to meet US FTC and CBP textile rules

• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as underwear (6208); provide swimwear design evidence such as quick-dry fabric specs
