How do shipping, customs and compliance for the USA work?

What US importers need to know before placing a first order.

Turkey does not hold a free trade agreement with the USA, so sherpa fabric shipments are subject to standard US import duty under the applicable HTS textile code — confirm the exact rate with your customs broker before ordering. Sea freight from Istanbul typically takes 3-4 weeks to major US ports; air freight arrives in 3-5 days for samples or urgent small batches. For finished jackets, coats or toys made from our sherpa, note CPSC compliance for children's products, California Prop 65 restricted-substance rules, and FTC fiber-content labeling.
