Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fabric composition via lab tests to confirm it's not predominantly knitted, as knitted items shift to Chapter 61 headings
• Label products accurately with fiber content and care instructions per FTC rules to prevent CBP holds
• Avoid misclassifying as Chapter 62 outerwear; include detailed invoices specifying 'bralette' use
