Import Tips

• Verify cotton fiber content exceeds 50% via lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification; blends under 50% may shift to man-made fibers

• Include detailed invoices specifying 'ski-jacket' use to avoid misclassification as general overcoats under 6201.13

• Ensure country-of-origin labeling complies with FTC rules; common pitfall is undervaluing insulation materials
