US Customs and Border Protection has intensified enforcement of chemical compliance for imported garments, requiring documentation that restricted substances (НАПРИМЕР., lead, phthalates, PFAS) are below legal limits. This has led to delays and increased costs for importers, prompting some brands to shift production to domestic digital printers. Digital textile printing typically uses water‑based or low‑VOC inks that easily meet US regulations, whereas traditional screen printing imports may contain non‑compliant chemicals.
For US‑based print shops using Принтеры Xinflying DTF, принтеры ДТГ, or sublimation equipment, this trend is a significant opportunity. Brands are seeking local suppliers who can guarantee compliance and fast turnaround. Print shops can market their chemical safety as a competitive advantage. The enforcement is expected to expand to other product categories, further benefiting domestic digital production. Some analysts predict that the shift could increase US digital textile printing volume by 15–20% over the next two years.
