Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests for accurate HTS classification and avoid reclassification to cotton headings
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'corset' construction with boning to distinguish from simple shapewear under 6114
• Ensure labeling complies with FTC requirements for fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions to prevent FDA or CBP holds
