Import Tips

Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests to confirm 6212 classification and avoid reclassification to cotton headings

Include detailed invoices specifying lace/net/embroidery content and ensure country-of-origin labeling for preferential duty treatment

Watch for common pitfalls like misdeclaring as 'sport bras' which may shift to athletic wear categories if functional features dominate
