Import Tips
• Provide fiber content labels compliant with FTC standards to prevent disputes over man-made vs. natural fibers
• Declare intended use (e.g
• cleaning) on entry docs to differentiate from bath towels
• Watch for undervaluation penalties; compare to similar retail pricing for fair market value
