Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 50% cotton/man-made fibers via lab testing to confirm classification and quota eligibility
• Document PVC coating application and fourchette construction in invoices to avoid reclassification to non-coated gloves
• Monitor man-made fiber restraints (631 category); apply for licenses if quotas are filled to prevent entry refusal
