Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 50% via lab tests; blends may shift to man-made fiber subheadings
• Include invoices detailing 'recreational performance' features to avoid reclassification as general outerwear
• Avoid common pitfalls like missing country-of-origin labels, which can delay clearance
