Import Tips
• Document the backpack's structured design and intended sports use to distinguish from simple textile sacks
• Test fiber content to confirm over 90% man-made fibers, avoiding cotton blend reclassifications
• Declare any metal hardware separately if they impart essential character, potentially affecting Chapter 73 classification
