Import Tips

• Provide coating weight and type certification to confirm 5903 compliance, as insufficient coating may lead to 6104 reclassification

• Label garments clearly as girls' with right-over-left closure per chapter notes to avoid men's/boys' headings

• Ensure no orthopedic features, as those shift to heading 9021 excluding this chapter
