Import Tips

• 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
