It is Crucial to Classify Textiles Correctly
Because you need to know the fiber amount, what to do if the product contains lining, interlining, fillings, padding, and ornamentation. You also need to know the country of origin, where the product was manufactured, the difference between various materials, amongst many other things. One of the biggest difficulties of importing textiles are all of the exceptions and for that you not only need to know the regulations but also the difference between the materials.
There is merchandise that you might feel classifies as a different item but it might actually be a textile. For example, you might think that you can classify an item as a bag; but, because it is a bag made out of a specific textile material, it actually has to go through the list of regulations that apply to textiles.

Textile Importing & Exporting Requires a Full-Time Partner
When it comes to freight forwarding and customs brokerage, textiles are one of the most complicated areas to work with. Clothing and textile companies and suppliers almost always either use a freight forwarding partner for textile imports and exports, or have a huge department dedicated to their logistics and customs brokerage.
Here are just a few of the challenges of importing textiles:
- Quality Control: Ensuring consistent quality from suppliers can be difficult. Variations in fabric quality, color, and finish can impact the final product.
- Customs and Tariffs: Navigating customs procedures, tariffs, and taxes is essential. Incorrect documentation or misclassification can lead to delays and additional costs.
- Shipping and Logistics: Coordinating shipping, handling, and transportation can be complex. Delays, damaged goods, or lost shipments are common issues.
- Sourcing Reliable Suppliers: Identifying trustworthy suppliers who meet quality standards and delivery deadlines can be time-consuming.
- Currency Fluctuations: Exchange rate fluctuations affect costs. Hedging strategies may be necessary to mitigate risks.
Textile importing and exporting is so complicated and strategic when it comes to legality, tariffs, and production and origin locations that many countries have production plants near or in embassies or qualifying zones to comply legally with regulations and obey origin laws and tariffs.
