Import Tips

• Verify fabric composition via lab tests to confirm it qualifies as 'other textile materials' excluding wool, cotton, or manmade fibers

• Include detailed invoices specifying recreational use and non-knitted construction to avoid reclassification to Chapter 61

• Ensure labeling meets FTC fiber content rules; common pitfall is misdeclaring as cotton blends leading to audits
