Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 70% with lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification, avoiding reclassification to man-made fibers
• Label garments clearly as 'women's' based on right-over-left closure and sizing to match statistical suffix 335
• Include care labels and country of origin; common pitfall is missing recreational performance documentation leading to audits
