The Label Mistakes That Get US Shipments Held at Customs

September 07, 2026 · DONGFAN Editorial Team

Your goods look finished and ready to ship — but a label error nobody caught can hold the whole container at the port.

The hidden risk

US labeling rules cover fiber content, country of origin, and care — a wrong or missing label is an easy trigger for inspection, and every hold costs time and money.

How to judge

Check the label against the destination country's rules before production — fiber content, country of origin, care — and have a compliance checklist per market.
