Import Tips
• Verify the fabric coating meets heading 5903 specifications with lab tests for polyurethane content to avoid reclassification
• Include detailed invoices specifying knitted construction and coating type; common pitfall is mislabeling as woven
• Ensure gender-specific labeling as men's (left-over-right closure) per chapter notes
