Import Tips

• Verify cotton content exceeds 70% with lab tests or supplier certifications to confirm classification under 6212.20.0010 and avoid reclassification

• Label garments clearly with fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions per FTC and CBP requirements to prevent holds at entry

• Watch for common pitfalls like misdeclaring as hosiery (6115) if elastic content dominates; document as shaping garment
