Import Tips
• Label fiber content clearly on packaging and invoices; cotton must be vegetable fiber dominant
• Avoid bulk packaging that could imply non-handbag use; present as retail-ready with handles/straps
• Watch for metal fittings; if they dominate character, may shift to Chapter 71, though minor ones stay in 4202
