Import Tips
• Document outer surface material via invoices and samples; cotton must predominate over any minor reinforcements
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as apparel accessory if worn as backpack—ensure traveling bag function
• Prepare for CBP exams on fiber content; blends under 369 statistical suffix need precise reporting
