Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests to confirm Chapter 62 classification and avoid reclassification to cotton headings

• Label garments clearly as 'women's' with right-over-left closure per Chapter notes; include care instructions to meet FTC requirements

• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as sets—import vest separately from pants to prevent ensemble duties under 6211.42
