The textile industry is highly targeted by US customs, and importers are frequently questioned about the classification of goods, NAFTA eligibility in certain cases, and the marking and labelling of their clothing.
Under the law, as an exporter, you are responsible for any possible errors following customs clearance of your goods—even if you use the services of a broker. Non-compliance of your customs documents may result in significant monetary penalties. You should therefore make sure to be very well informed when it comes to customs compliance.
