Import Tips
• Verify the knitted fabric meets heading 5903 criteria with polyurethane coating over 15% of surface area via lab testing for accurate classification
• Include detailed fabric composition invoices specifying cotton base and coating to avoid reclassification to uncoated cotton shorts
• Check for Chapter 59 exclusions; garments resembling swimwear or with specific closures may shift to other subheadings
