Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests to confirm 6110 classification and avoid reclassification to cotton headings
• Ensure no ribbed waistband or drawstring at bottom; document construction details for CBP review under heading 6110 notes
• Label properly as 'men's' based on left-over-right closure; include care instructions to meet FTC textile rules
