Import Tips
• Label garments clearly as men's (left-over-right closure) per chapter notes to avoid default to women's classifications
• Monitor cotton restraint quotas under category 347; provide origin certificates for non-cotton synthetics
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as parts—ensure fully made-up for retail to stay in heading 6103
