Import Tips
• Verify man-made fiber content exceeds 70% for accurate classification; provide lab test reports to avoid reclassification to cotton blends
• Label as 'panty-girdle' not 'shapewear' on invoices; include country of origin markings visible on packaging
• Watch for anti-dumping duties from China/Vietnam; use HTS lookup tools for latest visa requirements under Category 649
