Import Tips
• Document fiber content with lab tests confirming 100% cotton to stay within the cotton subheading
• Label garments clearly as 'suit trousers' and ship with matching jacket to support parts-of-suits classification
• Check stitch density and construction to confirm knitted origin, avoiding woven alternatives
