Import Tips
• Provide chlorine-resistance test reports to support swimwear end-use claims during classification
• Document exact spandex percentage; under 5% shifts to non-elastomeric headings
• Avoid bundling with finished garments—import as greige fabric to prevent Chapter 61/62 misclassification
