Import Tips
• Verify garment closure is right-over-left for girls' classification and provide fiber content lab tests showing over 50% cotton
• Include invoices specifying 'recreational use' to avoid reclassification as industrial protective gear under Chapter 62 exclusions
• Label with care instructions and country of origin; watch for undervaluation pitfalls in padded insulation costing
