Import Tips

• Declare exact fiber percentages (e.g

• 85% polyester/15% spandex) to comply with man-made fiber quota tracking

• Avoid bulk packaging over 12 units per carton to prevent 'for retail sale' set misinterpretation

• Use commercial invoices with HTS code printed; mismatches lead to exam and delays
