Import Tips
• Verify exact leather content via lab testing to confirm 25%+ threshold; inaccurate declarations lead to reclassification
• Provide detailed fabric breakdown and knitting specs in entry docs to avoid audits on man-made fiber dominance
• Ensure garment lacks sweater-like features (e.g
• no crew neck ribbing) to prevent shift to sweater vest subheading
