Import Tips
• Conduct compression testing if marketed as 'sports' to distinguish from swimwear; improper claims can trigger reclassification
• Attach permanent care labels indicating man-made fiber composition and country of origin before U.S. entry
• Monitor visa requirements for category 649 apparel; obtain necessary textile visas for large shipments
