Import Tips
• Declare as household gloves and provide evidence of terry looped construction to prevent misclassification as industrial (Chapter 59 coated items)
• Check for category 331 cotton quotas; file proper visa if applicable for origin countries like China or India
• Ensure no drawstrings or ribbed cuffs that might push toward other headings; test for average stitches per cm if disputed
