Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests to confirm 6201.40 classification and avoid reclassification to cotton headings

• Include commercial invoice detailing HTS code, fabric composition, and 'men's' designation based on left-over-right front closure per Chapter notes

• Watch for padded elements; if resembling ski-jackets, it may shift to 6210.40, a common CBP reclassification pitfall
