Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 50% cotton via lab tests to confirm Chapter 61 classification and avoid reclassification to synthetic headings

• Ensure no drawstring, ribbed waistband, or bottom tightening features, as per heading 6109 notes, to prevent shift to other T-shirt subheadings

• Label garments clearly as 'men's' based on left-over-right front closure or cut, per chapter notes, for proper statistical suffix (352)
