Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' status, avoiding reclassification to cotton or man-made fiber headings

• Include detailed invoices specifying 'vest, not sweater vest' and men's sizing to meet quota documentation for cotton restraints

• Watch for pocket placements; ensure no waist-tightening features to prevent shift to other headings like 6110 for pullovers
