Import Tips
• Label as 'protective arm coverings' with exact fiber composition to distinguish from medical appliances
• Provide knitting gauge samples if challenged, as low stitch count could misclassify under 6105 notes
• Avoid bundling with full garments to prevent ensemble classification under heading 6104
