Import Tips

• Conduct fiber analysis to confirm artificial fibers like viscose exceed 70% for proper subheading; blends under 6104.29 may need exact composition declaration

• Document as 'retail ensemble set' with photos; importers often err by declaring as parts, leading to higher duties elsewhere

• Ensure right-over-left closure for women's classification per chapter note 13; ambiguous closures default to women's headings
