Import Tips
• Verify fabric composition via lab tests to confirm non-knitted status and girdle functionality for Chapter 62 classification
• Include detailed invoices specifying control level (e.g
• firm compression) to prevent reclassification as basic panties
• Ensure labeling meets FTC requirements for body-shaping claims to avoid customs holds
