Import Tips

Verify wool content exceeds 50% via lab tests for Chapter 62 classification; declare fiber composition accurately on invoices to avoid reclassification

Ensure 'recreational performance' features like quilting and insulation are documented, as industrial vests may shift to heading 6210

Label as women's garment confirming right-over-left closure; provide height measurements if borderline with girls' sizes
