Import Tips
• Confirm right-over-left front closure for girls' items per chapter notes to avoid men's classification
• Document retail set packaging; pitfall is customs splitting sets, triggering higher duties or reclassification
• Obtain certificates of origin for cotton to leverage preferential tariffs if from qualifying countries
