Import Tips
• Obtain certificates of compliance for nylon fiber content to meet man-made restraints and prevent quota violations
• Declare exact HTS subheading on entry documents; pitfall is generic classification leading to higher duties or seizures
• Ensure left-over-right front closure for men's designation per chapter notes to avoid default to women's headings
