Import Tips & Compliance

Document that shorts are imported specifically as parts of play suits (note 237) with supplier invoices and packing lists to justify classification under 6103.42.1065

Ensure fiber content is at least 70% cotton with accurate labeling; verify knitted construction to stay within Chapter 61

Avoid common pitfalls like classifying as finished retail shorts, which shifts to other subheadings; confirm boys' sizing and left-over-right closure
