Import Tips
• Conduct independent fiber burn tests for silk verification, as CBP often requests proof for high-value claims
• Avoid marketing as 'medical' or 'support' gloves to prevent misclassification into heading 9021
• Use HTS advisory rulings for custom designs to lock in classification pre-shipment
