Sometimes sending textiles can be a little tricky because they are subject to more regulations than other kinds of consumer goods.

For example, COMMERCIAL QUANTITY IMPORTS OF TEXTILES whose value is more than $250 may be subject to quota restrictions.

Formal CBP entries must be filed for all made-to-order suits from Hong Kong, no matter what the value, unless they accompany the traveler.

Before sending textiles, whether whole cloth or apparel, to the United States from abroad, you should contact your local CBP port (which can be found in your local phone book under U.S. government listings) or the CBP attaché in an American embassy abroad about whether your textile package will be subject to import restrictions.
*This is particularly true if the textiles are intended for sale as opposed to for your personal use or as a gift.
