Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Conduct fiber burn test or lab analysis pre-shipment; discrepancies in declared vs tested wool % lead to duty adjustments

β€’ Package as complete ensemble for retail; bulk shipments may classify as separate trousers/shorts under different subheadings

β€’ Avoid drawstrings or ribbed bottoms per heading 6109 note exclusion; plain hem designs maintain classification
