Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests for category 659 quota compliance

• Ensure no drawstrings or ribbed waistbands at bottom to avoid exclusion from heading 6109/6110

• Label clearly as 'vest' and provide knitting certification to prevent misclassification as woven jackets
