Import Tips
• Conduct stitch density tests (min 10/cm) if challenged, as low density could exclude from Chapter 61 per notes
• Declare accurately as 'other vests' not sweater vests; CBP rulings emphasize design distinction
• Bundle with commercial invoices showing retail packaging to affirm made-up status vs bulk parts
