Import Tips
• Document multifunction use (neck/scarf) but emphasize garment status to stay in 6114, avoiding swimwear exclusions
• Ensure no metal thread if claiming cotton purity, as chapter allows but affects fiber content declarations
• Avoid describing as 'hat' to prevent HTS Chapter 65 reclassification
