Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is predominantly cotton via lab tests to confirm 6110 classification and avoid misclassification into synthetic headings
• Ensure labeling complies with FTC rules for country of origin and care instructions, as vests must indicate 'knitted cotton' accurately
• Check for quota restrictions on cotton apparel; common pitfall is overlooking statistical suffix 359 reporting for men's vests
