Import Tips

Verify the outer fabric is predominantly man-made fibers (over 70%) via lab tests to confirm classification under 6202.40

Include water-resistance certification and fiber content labels in documentation to avoid misclassification as general outerwear

Ensure right-over-left front closure design for women's classification; check for rain-specific features to prevent shift to 6210
