Import Tips

Verify artificial fiber content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate classification; natural fiber blends shift to other subheadings

Include sports-specific design proofs like padding or grip reinforcements in documentation to avoid reclassification as general gloves

Check for REACH compliance on artificial fibers and ensure labeling indicates sports use to prevent customs holds
