Import Tips & Compliance

• Specify left/right neutral design or men's cut to avoid default to women's headings per Chapter note on closure

• Provide yarn construction details (e.g

• 80% cotton/20% spandex) for fiber content verification

• Monitor category 359 cotton quotas; athletic socks often face volume restrictions
