Import Tips

• Verify cotton content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate classification under cotton swimwear subheading

• Label garments clearly as 'girls' swimwear' with fiber content and care instructions to meet CBP requirements

• Avoid misclassifying as babies' garments (6209) if height exceeds 86cm; check sizing documentation
