Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' status and compliance with cotton restraint quotas (342)

• Include detailed yarn construction and stitch density documentation to distinguish from woven skirts in Chapter 62

• Avoid misclassification as swimwear; ensure no water-resistant treatments that could shift to heading 6112
