Import Tips

Label as 'fitness mitts' not 'gloves' if partial finger coverage to distinguish from full gloves

Provide yarn composition certificates; polyester blends over 50% may qualify for synthetic headings if misdeclared

Avoid packaging with wristbands, as sets could reclassify under 6117 for protective ensembles
