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
