Import Tips
• Test for coating adherence to knitted cotton substrate; misapplication can lead to duty reassessment
• Include RN number on labels for traceability; common pitfall is missing care symbols causing delays
• Differentiate from workwear by retail packaging; bulk shipments risk industrial classification
