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
