Import Tips
• Confirm boys' sizing (under age 18 indicators) and nylon fiber tests for man-made restraint categories
• Provide statistical note 6 affidavits certifying knit-to-shape process to prevent duty disputes
• Watch for overages in fiber blends; pure nylon avoids cotton/wool headings but requires precise lab reports
