How detailed must package descriptions be for US customs?

US CBP now uses automated enforcement of package descriptions. Generic descriptions like 't-shirt' are rejected, you need specifics like 'men's cotton t-shirt.' Descriptions must include material composition, product type, and intended use. Placeholder text (Unknown, N/A) causes rejection. The manufacturer's address must match the declared country of origin.
