Planning to import clothing? Here are the 3 MOST COMMON mistakes that can cost you big time during the process. Make sure you’re prepared to avoid these issues:

HS Code Misclassification
Clothing imports often involve multiple types, materials, and styles. It’s easy to make a mistake when assigning the correct HS code for customs, and this could lead to penalties and delays.

Lack of Chinese Labels/Tags
No Chinese labels or tags? This could halt your clearance and result in costly delays as you’ll need to invest time and resources into corrective actions.

Customs Inspection Failures
Customs may perform random checks, and if your products fail in areas like color fastness, formaldehyde levels, or incorrect labeling, you could face the nightmare of re-exportation, destruction, or compliance corrections.

If you’re an importer, DON’T RISK IT! Ensure your shipment is compliant from the get-go. Feel free to message me or leave a comment if you want to learn how to avoid these issues and ensure smooth, cost-effective imports.
